Pros

Work from home No micro management. Good for politicians, smart talkative , sales people, good for people who knows politics and have some domain or functional knowledge on banking and financial systems.

Cons

Worst env out here, No respect for employees skillset, they just need their work to be done. Dont go by their marketing terms on new technologies. ultimately you have to work on 10 years old legacy technology.over here only functional and domain knowledge matters. if you are equipped with cutting edge tech like Micro services , .NET core , Cloud , dev ops, data science , Machine learning etc then go home, there will be no respect for you. BUT you will be a superstar if you are equipped with domain or functional skillset. No career growth, seriously, who will ask these old technology and skill set on the current job market. They provide the worst facility, no parking for car after 9.30 Am , no parking for bike after 10 am. every morning you will end up on anxiety over parking.Cafeteria looks like a fish market in pune business bay and foods are super costly. they have over hiring and over firing based upon the project budget every year for which they have minimum desk allocation to the associates. you will end up sharing your desk or sitting on a populated area. you cant leave your personal belonging on your desk mistakenly also because it will stolen and admin desk dont have any answers to it.lifts are over crowded, sometimes you have to wait for 15 minutes.and on the top of that your managers wants you to come office on time. trust me , you will be end up with a exhausted day with all these scenarios which will impact you family life.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
