Pros

​- Some teams were great to collaborate and have a chat. Good way to stay in touch and network - Nice location of their corporate office - Monthly company socializing and other events - Free food and company swags - Decent benefits package - Casual tech company attire that you see nowadays - Executives are accessible

Cons

- Felt like a bro culture during my time there - Cronyism and nepotism, so good luck getting a promotion to Senior or higher level role - Turnover rate - Pay was low compared to same role of other neighboring companies - Lacks cognitive diversity (not to be mistaken by the other definition of diversity, they're good on that). - They seem to hire like minded mannerism - Some of the people who's been there for decades or longer are stuck with their outdated ways of thinking - Some of the new people there were left to be guessing around and figuring things out themselves - 20+ years and still acts like a startup

Pros

There is no Pros in this company.

Cons

I would like to tell everyone that there is no systematic and ethical work culture. Company appoint employees from another Company and then they made them to work like donkeys. No work life balance no employee related benefits. They provide food that is not good for health. Everyday maida naan no roti is provided. They do work from office and then they want employee to take meetings with US clients in the night and it goes upto 1:00 AM.

Pros

- Very nice people for the most part. - Great location for commuters who take public transit - Free snacks - Celebrates small milestones

Cons

- Little to zero on-boarding process. There is no documentation on how things get done and where to find assets. - Has culture of doing things the old way and bringing new ideas and methods for improvement is not well-received. Keep your lips sealed or else. - Poor management of employees - Lack of structure - Managers lack managing experience
