Great Team, High Pressure
Great Team, High Pressure
- Good salary compared to others in the same domain.
- Amazing talent around; people writing RSUs and ITU docs are here.
- Highly aggressive company when it comes to technology and innovations.
- Good work culture.
- Stock options.
-
Pressure sometimes gets on the higher side. It's not evenly distributed.
-
Promotions are not so frequent, but then exceptions are made for exceptional talent.
-
Very few travel opportunities. (It matters to middle-class people in India.)
-
Too many people. You might go unnoticed.
-
Recruitment drives are getting aggressive, and the level of new hires is falling.
In India, to keep people happy, the same policies as the US don't work. You need to give travel. I am against fake hierarchies, but in India, that works. No one likes to be called a software engineer for half their lives.
Role change is needed.
