      Pros

      1. Challenging Healthcare Products. 2. Opportunity for grow with Products 3. Many employee benefits and perks.

      Cons

      1. Not a product mindset, broader vision of success- NIL, immature and very risky work culture. 2. Very unsafe place to join and survive for experienced people. Hire/Fire/Re-structure is in culture. 3. Not a reliable place to join if you have family, home loan, education loan, growing kids or any other liability. BE CAREFUL. 4. Indecisive people managers, have no respect for others.

      Thank you for saying a few words about the 3+ years you've worked for our company in Bangalore as Principal Software Architect. We're glad to hear that you were happy with the benefits that were being provided, but it's regrettable that there are several things you'd like to see changed within your former department. Your feedback and the feedback we receive from other (former) employees is very valuable to us and help us to improve as employer. It has been duly noted. We hope that you've already found (or will soon find) another position, one that is fully to your liking. Thank you again for leaving your review here and all the best in your future endeavors!

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
