Pros

Friendly Employees. Cutting Edge Domain

Cons

From where do i start. Ok here it goes. - Management does not care of an employee's Salary unless and until he puts down his papers. - Pure 'Chamchas' when i mean chamchas i mean it. yes they do exists and they are growing only becasue they nod their heads to their Leads/Managers. - Leads/ Managers - Never test, never manage scrum , never test , few handle Customer tickets, Never know how to get job done from an employee in a good way. - Only to know to keep record of leaves and in-out timings. - Pathetic - Freshers - seen some very talented freshers who have been given a wrong perspective of work. They feel lke coming out of college and joining school. Leave the place soon. - Salary - YOU are not paid what you are worth. People around may have more than what you are being paid. People under you will definitely have more than what you have. - Employee benefits - Never ever gave any benefit apart from somethings. We even had to beg our managers to take us to a good resort and would end up paying for the transport ourselves. Paying half of the gym allowance makes them feel Google or microsoft all of a sudden. - Senior Managers- Please Act before you loose everyone. throwing a google doc and collecting feedback is not the solution. - Food - aap hi raklo yaar apna food. Seriously not even worth talking about. - Gossips - Passionate people are present who are very interested in one's personal life and its gossips. Very popular Lead/manager speaks about the world. Another Manager who spends half of his time in cafe and on the phone is worried about the amount of time an employee spends in the pantry. I mean WOW!! - Not done here. i will come back and write more. - HR - LOL and ROFL is enough.

Pros

Learning and lots of people to guide you

Cons

My whole team including me were laid off without any prior intimation. Some folks had just joined a few months back and they were also laid off. The reason given was that it is a management reason. Why would they need to hire if they need to lay us off? The company does not care about its employees. No internal transfer or other opportunities were provided.
