Cons
  • Less hike, but you are still recognized through cash payout.
  • Career growth, but you need to stand up and be transparent.
  • No free lunch or snacks.
  • No free cab.
  • No onsite. (You might get a chance to travel for two weeks, but it's not sure when.)
  • Decent pay, but less than or not on par with competitors.
  • Frequent org changes, and after the DellEMC merger, lots of good top leaders left.
  • Every year, workforce reduction as part of org changes creates uncertainty. It's not sure if this still continues.
  • Work-life balance depends upon the project.
Advice to Management
  • Bring out some initiatives to improve employee engagement.
  • Be more tech-oriented, although it's already on the path.
  • Invest in people and maintain the work culture.
  • Being process-oriented is good, but too much process can reduce productivity and transparency.
