Pros

The overall work culture is good..good work life balance however most of the facilities & policies are for managers. WL1 has slow or no growth...the performance ratings are normalized which is a big negative...women employees joining back from MAT leave have to struggle to save their jobs as there is no support or clarity on their roles either from LM or HR.HR is biased & is only for managers...due to which many of them had to leave their jobs

Cons

HR is biased & does not support WL1. They don't have growth plan.
