Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
April 28, 2024
Pros: Brand name.
Pay is okay, but gets stagnant after a while.
Tie-ups with good institutes for higher education.
Good work exposure depends on the team one's part of and rapport with the entire reporting hierarchy, including pseudo-managers.
Employees can get discounts for Cisco certifications.
Cons: No Work-Life Balance (WLB)
24x7 availability is expected.
Need to be in the good books of not just the reporting manager but every pseudo-manager around.
Frequent layoffs have made everyone fear for their own jobs, and so they don't share knowledge with others.
Not a company to stay with in the long term. Almost everyone in my team is looking for job changes.
