      Pros

      Work-life balance is great Unlimited sick leaves Good support from seniors Planning is done smoothly Flexible work hours

      Cons

      Though it depends on the team, the work is really bad here. I spent most of the days trying to resolve EIs and doing non-development work. The tech-stack is very old. Even if you ask your manager about change of work, he won't give as it is not in his hands. Very less yearly hike (4-6%) Less CTC as compared to competitive companies. Growth is less.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
