Pros

-As mentioned before the travel opportunities. -The camaraderie a lot of good people that made the employee journey worthwhile. -The Products were good fun to sell and always kept you on your toes. -The KB solution was pretty rock solid not sure if it still is.

Cons

Don't want to sound like a broken record player repeat a lot of what is on here is completely true. From my personal experience I saw a lot of good people walk out the door. People are commodities no support and you will not be valued. I got told by someone in 2004 that working there I was on the Marie Celeste that it had no leadership and no direction and everyone would end up dead or destroyed, I wish I had listened to them. I wasted 15+ years there and left after a mental breakdown. I would have hoped that it could or would have changed but reading the reviews on here I don’t think it has. Perhaps they need to practise what they preach maybe someone could build a knowledge base to support the management.

Pros

1. Travel opportunities if you're in tech support, for rest of the teams you have to ingratiate your manager to get such good opportunities. 2. Good technical exposure, but again totally depends on who you report to. Not all leads and managers are willing to let their subordinates use their own ideologies to do stuff the way they like. 3. Good workplace to start your career, good for freshers.

Cons

1. Some undeserving people are leading the teams (mid and low level management). These leaders are insecure with their own subordinates. Due to this reason, they do not communicate well within the team, they do not give good exposure and are not willing to even listen to the ideas their subordinates come up with. Immaturity level is seen when they put their own subordinates on spot in front of upper management without that person knowing about it just to cover his own mistake. 2. Some Team Leads/Managers are most of the times unreachable or do not wish to communicate with their team which leads to lack of timeliness in the deliverables and increases the chances of rework. 3. No cultural/outdoor events are arranged. Also, no indoor game equipments such as carrom, TT, pool, foosball are made available. 4. No feeling of healthy work environment.

Pros

Decent product portfolio, but not evolving fast enough in an highly saturated market. Changes across the business needed to improve operations.

Cons

Some of the worst senior leadership team I have ever witnessed. CEO unable to delegate and not focusing on the high level strategies. Hiring and firing culture and unable to keep their best talents as a result. Struggling to capture new logos and revenue targets unrealistic.
