Pros

Permanent work from home policy (if you can forget the existence of your family, while being at home, this can be a pro)

Cons

* Toxic work culture. Everyone live to please one man and your entire career depends on projection and managing to not be in the bad books of certain power centers * Poor work life balance. Work and life was balanced prior to COVID and wfh. Post wfh everyone is runnin like headless chickens with meetings all thorough the day and a hundred initiatives which ceases to sustain beyond a few months * Too much of change. Any process or policy or intiative has a shelf life of a few months to a year or two. This pushes employees to be always accomodating to and absorbing the change rather than focus on the actual work itself. * Politics. Seniors bullying juniors is a common scene(as the organisation rarely has people staying beyond 2 yrs and anyone who manages to stay for a good 5 yrs has a lot of say on the making and breaking of a new joiner's/junior's career) * Employee policies. Has huge scope for improvement. Lagging way behind competitors. * Good talents never get recognised. The organization has a certain culture and ways of working. Anyone who can seamlessly integrate with the said (not so healthy) culture can survive, the rest will be shunned irrespective of what value the person may add.

Pros

There is no pressure for performance. One can spend many years in the company without doing any value adding work. Has wide range of products and brands. If you speak Tamil you can be part of many internal conversations.

Cons

Directionless management. Continuously changing strategy. Low payscale and equally low increments. No critical evaluation of performance. Appraisals completely manager dependant. HR only good for filtering resumes and doing joining and exit formalities. Employee benefits are non existent. Managers not given decision making authority or decent responsibilities. Product development, brand, marketing and GTM strategies are done on gut feel. Completely dependant on trial and error mode of execution - try many things some might work. No data centric approach. Careless management has resulted in free riding employees in all levels of Management and function ruining the performance of entire organisation.
