Pros
  • Each can get as much work as they are willing, comfortable, and capable of taking up.
  • No work pressure.
  • Very good work-life balance.
  • Very flexible (work from home, flexible timings of work hours, etc.)
Cons

Time-based promotion pattern. Need to spend a fixed amount of time at a grade irrespective of how well you perform before you are eligible for a promotion.

Slow growth.

Most quality work is done at the HQ in San Jose.

Advice to Management

The stress on the number of years spent at a level should be decreased. There need to be initiatives to promote people based on performance and talent more than the duration spent in the job.
