Pros

Work-life balance

Good office campus, cafeteria.

Cons
  1. The learning you get is not useful outside when you search for a job.

  2. As an engineer, you will be assigned one component and asked to work on it for 4-5 years. This will bring your resume to zero levels.

  3. Except for the brand name, you get nothing.

  4. People have settled in this company for more than 10 years. They won't give you any knowledge for you to leverage. There is zero documentation.

  5. Outdated technology work is assigned in the Bangalore office.

  6. No hikes.

  7. No promotions at any level.

  8. There are rumors that the CEO wants to downsize the strength from the current 70k to 25.

  9. Favoritism at its best.

Advice to Management

Give some good work to engineers.
