Pros

Stable company. You don't expect fireworks.

Cons

The company is past its prime days. Many Indian managers at the low to mid-level are battling out for their career advancement. Many decisions are based on:

  • What is in it for me?
  • Will this project me well to the higher-ups?
  • How can I block the other guy who seems to be going ahead in the race?
  • I have the power, how can I show it to the guys below me?
Advice to Management

Bring back some diversity in low to mid-level management.
