Do not join CPD!

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Few exceptional Engineers & Manager(s) (but rest are pathetic & selfish ) -Exciting Technology & competition -Competitive Pay

Cons

-CPD BU Leader's main priority is to develop/promote Beijing Team leaving rest of the Teams (Paloalto, Bangalore, Sophia) to Hell! -No employee retention -Engineers are treated like Pigs (Extremely sorry to compare with Pigs) No value to personal life. -No work life balance, even after working during weekends, Managers expect engineers not take any comp off for the weekends spent on work. -Too much of Politics. -In-order to promote their level in hierarchy, Sr. Manager(s) hire another manager. -Managers can do anything to elevate their position. Best example-One of the engineer(Sr. MTS) who resignes the company after 1+yr of work in CPD as Lead, gets call back to CPD as Manager.
