Pros

Work life balance , no work at times, slow work On site

Cons

A lot of politics Company driven by only seniors and old employees You need to gossip and spread rumours to survive You need to be in good books of your manager by taking them out to party, sharing drink, going at their flats, etc You cannot be a strong independent person here Your piece of mind would be lost once you join here

Pros

* Good work life balance for managers and leads * leaves * car hire policy

Cons

I previously enjoyed working at Driven Brands, where employees felt empowered and valued for their contributions. However, I have noticed a significant shift towards a manager-driven culture. Now, success seems to depend more on pleasing management than on hard work and results.In particular, the DOT teams exemplify this trend, where managers are prioritized over employees' efforts. It feels like the only way to thrive is to align with managerial preferences rather than focusing on delivering quality work. This shift has created a challenging environment for those who believe in meritocracy and genuine collaboration.While there are still some great managers who support their teams, the overall direction of the company raises concerns about employee morale and long-term growth. I hope the leadership can recognize the value of empowering employees again.

Cons

First of all this company do not have to do anything with Telekom industry and Deutsche Telekom The whole company is driven by only few who are there since the companies birth The whole company is divided into two parts framework(so called)and module teams. The framework team is built to paralyse all other module teams Framework team does nothing but wraps every class given by dotnet into another class and makes module teams mandatory to use it. Nobody from this company who is so called geek of the company want to share their knowledge making new joiner leave the company
