Pros

One of best campus in NCR , nice cafe , located in clean and green Greater Noida where rents are very low

Cons

I am writing for Infra team in DIT , it is a glorified call center , most of the guys in the various Infra team come from L1 team , after working in L1 for some years they are sent to various internal teams , mostly L1 who are loudmouths and uncouth , possess very little knowledge except they know who is who which they come to know from their experience in L1 Top management lacks technical knowledge and is notorious to torture using excel and diagrams and keeping unnecessary points open , employees are rated on basis of how regular are they in saying GM and attending meetings , sending emails etc. No technical road map , basically they work mostly on low end work which is already done by the Europeans. Top management is loudmouth and they tend to surround themselves with loudmouths with little knowledge. Most companies follow either waterfall or agile , here no model is followed , do all whatever comes without any planning for resources , resources are burdened like mules and too many emails and phones and very little time for actual work.

Pros

If you thrive in a low-accountability environment where showing up is enough, this is your paradise. No one is measured on output — just tenure and nationality. Perfect if ambition makes you uncomfortable.

Cons

Where do I start. STMicro is a company that peaked decades ago and has been coasting ever since. The entire organization is paralyzed by Franco-Italian politics — your career trajectory has nothing to do with your performance and everything to do with which country you're from and who you know in Geneva or Grenoble. Middle management is a graveyard of lifers who haven't had an original idea since 2005. Decision-making is painfully slow, innovation is non-existent, and any attempt to push for change gets buried in committees. The semiconductor industry is moving at lightning speed and STMicro is standing still. Competitors are lapping them while leadership congratulates itself in PowerPoint presentations. If you're ambitious, talented, or value meritocracy — run. This place will grind you down and waste your best years. Advice to Management: Stop pretending politics and nationality don't drive every major decision. The talent is leaving and you're not getting it back
