Pros

1. Driving skillset has improved as travelling through most congested areas of pune 4days a week. 2. You will get to know SDLC process in action. 3. Good insurance benefit 4. Account and IT dept is good. nice people.

Cons

Unfortunately cons list is 2x then pros list . 1. Toxicity injected from higher management . Indian management sitting right on top have no clues how to improve efficiency of engineers are forcing employees to come to office and expects engineers to show up middle of the night as well. Once I have really felt for this org . Now all emotions are gone. there was a time , I used to listen townhall till midnight because that leadership was so good , you can keep of listening to them. they were fantastic really. Now because of higher management all managers have become toxic. 2. Although I got 3% appraisal , some people got 1% even after all the hard work. 3. Management thinks engineers are labor. 4. All good perks and benefits are almost revoked in the name of budget cut. 5. Budget cuts are that bad , admins now mix water in hadwash liquids in washrooms.No quarterly team outing . 6. Company is secretly tracking hours in office and forcing employees to stay back 7. Company fired US employees with 1 day notice. I feel for them.If company can fire in US , Indian employees are also not safe. Fearful and worrying employee env management has created over the past 2 years. 8. Management openly exploits employees asking them to do overtime at middle of the night if appraisal is required for next year. 9. HR dept is not independent. They listen to what managers tell them. Employee's opinion does not matter to them.

Pros

A very distinct culture of gritty, brilliant individuals. Very generous compensation. Lean org structure with access to the senior most leaders.

Cons

Not a company for those who aren't self starters. You will thrive here if you are diligent and independent.

Pros

The company has good benefits and, for now, free breakfast and lunch in one building. Nice gym in HQ.

Cons

The company is very inflexible and absolutely does not tolerate remote work in any capacity. Even if you are the only member of your team in the office and could easily be remote, you will be required to be in office to take Zoom calls. In general this matches with the company's overbearing culture and "eye of sauron"- like micromanagement. Some higher executives work remotely, but they have sweetheart deals that don't apply to everyone, so if you need flexibility look elsewhere. Atlanta, even in difficult economic times, still has plenty of competition that is much more flexible than ICE. The company location is surrounded by nothing, so while JP Morgan can mandate RTO in their accessible Manhattan office, the Atlanta workers don't have it so rosy. If the company would relent on in-office it would definitely improve, but the fact that they don't leads to high turn-over and is why so many H-1Bs are present: they can't leave as easily. The company aggressively controls your time with a badge dashboard so one day you will get an email out of the blue asking you about it.
