Pros
The only pro is remote work, and that too just because the team is small and spread across India. They clearly want to keep everything within budget and spend as little as possible. It’s obvious that if they had to spend on infrastructure or hire people in Tier-1 cities, they’d have to pay more. So, instead, HR uses the “work from home” tag to justify lower pay, saying you’ll save more since you’re at home. In short, the so-called benefit of remote work actually works more in their favor, not ours — they just pay you less under the label of WFH.
Cons
The salary and hikes are poor. The culture just revolves around licking boots and doing irrelevant activities. There are too many managers planning things and doing small talks, with fewer people actually working and doing the real work. There's no learning opportunity, and they're using legacy applications with outdated, ancient tech stacks. Most of the projects and apps just revolve around maintenance and monitoring, with little to no new development or enhancement, which will not let you be in any way up to the level of market standards. And they just feel satisfied that they're doing something significant while doing these mundane maintenance tasks. It's worse for anyone building their career in IT, Software Engineering, or Technologies. Apart from this, the team from Genworth India is even worse, with too much micromanagement and more emphasis on how the task is done rather than on how much and what all has been accomplished. Considering all these, there's little to no development, growth, and promotion opportunities, which then impact your compensation and pay scale, with negligible hikes year on year. In short, it's just all your time and experience going in vain.
