Pros

Big company, you can do lots of different jobs here.

Cons

I joined Wipro through the acquisition of Appirio. Most employees gave Wipro a chance, and only became directly exposed to their bureaucracy in April 2019. Their infrastructure is all managed out of Bangalore India. That means that all finance, IT, and consulting operations are handled by teams who only work during Indian hours. The people working on those teams are generally just part of a bureaucracy and don't generally make any special efforts to get things done or think creatively. Therefore even simple requests will take days, weeks, or months to accomplish. This is frustrating not only for employees, but also for external vendors. In an attempt to save money and simplify things, Wipro does not have much support staff spread across time zones and countries. Inadvertently this costs millions of dollars in lost productivity for their global employees. The MyWipro portal has an incredibly bad user experience (slow, confusing UI, confusing terminology). I could go on and on. Their IT security policies make most laptops unbearably slow and cause many applications to not work or work inconsistently, thus further reducing productivity. They have teams for AWS, Oracle, and DevOps, but those teams also have tons of restrictions placed on them around what parts of those tools they can and can't use.

Pros

Easy to make friends. You won't ever have to work overtime, because there isn't enough work to justify it.

Cons

Income is way below the industry average. An absurd amount of micromanagement. Manager will literally stand over your shoulder while you work. Deadend for your career. No advancement or growth opportunities. Benefits are terrible, especially dental. Current management condones snitching and starting drama to the point it feels like you're in 7th grade all over again. Recent college graduates seriously steer clear of this place. If you've gone through the interview process, everything you've been told is a lie. You will not receive any training whatsoever. Instead, you will be told to "Google it". It may sound like a great place to work, but it is a farce. The workplace environment is extremely toxic. There is no doubt that this was the worst experience I've had in my professional career. There is something fundamentally wrong with this place.

Pros

None to report unfortunately. "It is a company run by pimps, mind poachers and fraudsters.."

Cons

From what I experienced, it is a cheap type company where the recruitment team and leadership lacking professionalism, integrity, courage to stand by their own words and non-transparency. Recently this company reached out to me, interviewed, selected and offered a proposal which I even accepted. There were 6-8 rounds of interviews from various executives, regional heads and even up to the rank of client CIOs at odd times of the day. I was fine with all of those and kept my passion high for those 3-4 stressful months. The position as laid out in front of me was about working with a portfolio of senior leaders and I strongly fell for it being a very strategic role in nature. So, I took serious interest only to decline a couple of other attractive offers from Microsoft and a Big 4. I thought loud about the highly strategic value add that I can do multidimensionally through incubation of innovative approaches for major financial client in east coast and beyond. The value add were more in the areas of cloud, digital and operational transformation considering my past skills and expertise. At the end of it until my patience ran out with these crooks, it was a pure waste of time for 3-4 months scarifying bigger opportunities and getting ditched by this worthless company Wipro. If I get an opportunity, I can share falsified information, untrustworthy communication, promises in those hundreds of interactions with some top executives. Now at this point, I can only regret for my decision. It only subjected me to excessive mental stress, frustration and distress for my family when I was dealing with my wife's serious illness. Even with my personal conditions we as a family were all together and excited to make the move with some conditions of travel until I expected things to get stable personally for a relocation. However these people kept shifting me around taking advantage of my personal situation. All the executive recruitment team and even the global heads I dealt with just preached spineless talks and cheap type unprofessional junks who just cannot stand by their promises. What they care about is just cheaper resources, they can ditch anybody. They don’t give any respect for your time, effort, your professional capabilities, honesty and integrity. There is no consideration for the value a senior leader can bring to the organization or your personal conditions even within serious health issues I was dealing with (e.g. my wife’s serious life threatening blood/ platelet disorder}. Even within those tough times I tolerated to their false promises and lingering attitude until my passions ran out and I had to stop from my side for good. Please stay away from this hellish experience. Just be aware of the fake promises they make and lure you for a position. Sooner or later you may even get subjected to such situation after joining such an unprofessional organization. Wishing you all the best in your carer endeavors!
