Pros

Good company with good culture and work-life balance.

Nice gym facilities - you get access to some nice gyms at just Rs 70 a month.

They spend good money on doing certifications for people.

Cons

Not much to learn. Was there for 4 years but wasn't able to learn much.

Politics. People who are sycophants get to the top, get promotions but have no respect for skills.

I was hired as a QA in Amex for automation, but automation testing doesn't have respect in the company. After hiring me as an automation engineer, I was put into a manual team and for 4 years, I have majorly done manual testing. It's like forgetting the skill set which you have done all your career.

Good for scrum masters, but not good for the rest of the scrum team.

Advice to Management

Please have a well-defined road map (clarity with respect to roles and responsibilities) for QAs as you take interviews for automation and then put them into manual testing.
