Biased Leader and dumb HR

Pros

Friendly Colleagues Good learning Opportunity for Begginers Work Life Balance Excellent Safety Protocol Free meal and Transport

Cons

Extremely dirty Politics from leadership, Managers and HR department. The leader is very much biased towards specific teams. So if you are working in those teams, no need to worry. But unfortunately if you're not from leader aligned team you have absolutely no future there. Covid 19 crisis has shown their true face. Trust me. Behind the facade of sophistication and employee friendly attitude lie very very cheap mentality. Top ranked managers, senior, mid senior and junior associates are being made to resign forcefully and then they're pretending as if people are leaving on their own. But we all know you are laying off and doing cost cutting. Have that guts to announce in front of everyone. If you're a real performer this place isn't for you. The hiring committee has surprised the whole organization quite a few times by their pathetic judgement on whom to hire and whom to fire. They won't bother to kick you out no matter how highly relevant your skills are in the field. If you're pro at flattering, oiling and buttering the higher management and leaders, you're through. Again that biased Leader would decide whether you'll grow or not. Your performance not at all counts. So naturally if you're a real performer be mentally prepared for extremely slow or no growth at all. No remarkable line would be drawn between a performer and a non performer.

Pros

Friendly Colleagues Product Based Subsidized Food/Transport No Work

Cons

Outdated Technology Cost Cutting Everywhere - Layoff in US, Delay in Pay Revision for APJ Employees, No 100% Bonus, Cheating on Salary HR and Managers mouth expands till ears when they speak. They do not offer you anything but expect you to work long. Layoff happens only to Employees and not to Top level Managers in the name of cost-cutting.

Pros

Great coworkers! hardworking, team players... intelligent and open to new ideas and ways of doing things. Business willing to invest it plant and equipment resources. Business is keenly focused on employee safety.

Cons

Suffering from years of chronic underinvestment by previous owners. Much talk from current leadership of investing in profitable business segments but little action to properly staff marketing and technology functions to achieve robust long term growth in profitable business units.
