Pros
  • Decent work if you get into the core of core products.
  • Work-life balance.
  • Job security (Relatively stable company and less frequent layoffs).
Cons
  • Average pay.
  • Less hike (once per year appraisal, average hike is around 8%).
  • Less benefits (not much perks, no free food/snacks, not so good transportation).
  • Peer quality is average.
  • Not an engineering-focused organization.
  • Clearly better than service companies like TCS, Infosys, Accenture, etc.
  • Clearly lower than NetApp, Cisco, Juniper, Nvidia, etc.
  • Not comparable with Amazon, Microsoft, Nutanix, etc.
Advice to Management
  • Give good hikes to top performers so that they will stay and get motivated to do better work.
  • Stop cutting benefits in the name of operational efficiency. Don't act like service companies.
