Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexibility depends on your team - Benefits are ok - A lot of nice people who join the company, but unfortunately they leave

Cons

- The organizations are very political. - From the operations perspective behind from what the rest of the world is doing. - If you challenge your management, the response is the door is open for you to leave. Very close minded and very top to bottom culture. - Subgroups in the same departments work in silos. No cohesion. - No transparency

Decent Worklife balance and nothing difficult or challenging to learn in proprietary tool

Test automation engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance Snacks Fruits Team events

Cons

proprietary tool . There is nothing technically challenging in learning this tool. Doesn't add value to your resume or your technical skills. Soon you will forget all the stuff that you know once you get suck up here. Not much growth for new comers. HR works really hard and supports people to move to different team or different roles. But the hiring managers are useless and don't respond. Comp is Okay ... Even for top performer you get 2% hike
