Pros

Great company, benefits, work life, compensation

Cons

My manager passively retaliated against me since I gave him bad reviews in one of the weekly pulse survey. I bought this to HR attention and they said it’s hypothetical and I cannot prove it. My manager was smart enough as he played a game with my mentor and drafted a bad review to me. I was hardly six months in the team and I had to take a hard decision to quit. Well please take care of such things

Not a place of trust

Pros

Some colleagues, other than that there is only contras. If you want to experience and work with 90s logic/technologies then this is the place to be.

Cons

- Team managers are untrained and immature. They are not really knowledgeable and are involved in killing the culture. - Riddled with politics (if you are coloured, then they will have a go at you at some point for sure!). - Nobody trusts each other. - Tech teams/developers are stuck with old useless framework. - Everybody speaks behind other's backs and the entire experience is so bad. - New joinees are bullied almost always (if you are of south asian origin!). I don't even know why this place is called one of the best places to work.
