1. Sometimes the work can be good and interesting, depending on your team.
2. Benefits like insurance, hybrid work, and wellness reimbursements (which are pretty standard anyway; other companies have better).
3. Relatively better job security.
4. It's a big brand and can give you a stable life, except for teams where work-life balance is extremely bad.

1. Lot of bootlicking culture.

Sometimes I get choked while seeing how much bootlicking people do here, right up to the senior management. Everybody is licking their bosses, and it has become a standard expectation here.

1. People who do the above become the manager's favorite.

All they need to do is the bare minimum work and keep shouting how much they have done.

1. Only those folks get bonuses and hikes who are the loudest in describing what they are doing, bootlick their manager, and care about making the manager happy instead of customers.

2. Altruists can be shocked at how much backbiting and backstabbing goes on here in the team. You cannot trust anyone. People are so double-faced that you will feel constant toxicity.

3. You can face terrible WLB occasionally.

Noida management team, just look at yourself and reduce bootlicking. Favor technical expertise instead of politics.

Learn to reward efforts and care about who is actually working versus who is just shouting. Stop being so freaking double-faced.

A lot of mediocre people need to be fired, as they are damaging the team.

For folks wishing to join, please have a thick skin and avoid politics. You can sail through for a couple of years if you just work. If you can play politics well, you will succeed here.

This is also a manager's heaven; people will push you to take leadership and handle some of the manager's workload so that he/she can use you to grow further.

Overall, it will be an okayish experience. Not so bad, not so good.
