Pros

The work from home policy is very liberal. They only care about the work being completed on time and hearing no complaints from the clients.

Cons

1. That work from home policy is the only way they can retain employees given their terrible vacation policy. 14 days of PTO a year (including earned, medical etc) + 9 public holidays is a joke! 2. They always scam you during appraisals. There will be stories about the client being a low hourly rate one to avoid giving you hikes in addition to the usual rhetoric of "we give you so much flexibility and the culture is so good here." 3. The culture reminds me, there is a clique of senior management here and they call the shots on everything here. Everything (including buying a mouse) has to go through the MD and even then, there would be questions like why you need one etc. The locally governed projects have overworked employees too. They don't realize that good culture isn't just organizing monthly socials or annual potlucks.

Pros

Great people I met with during a 6 round interview panel + on site at the office. Got a solid offer.

Cons

A new CEO (Sahil smth) joins last minute and withdraws the offer leaving everyone puzzled (perhaps bringing someone from his former company) while he is still learning how to spell CEI. My advice to anyone applying for roles at CEI - don't leave your current company as they may throw a curve ball at you last minute.
