Pros

Flexible work hours. Decent support in terms of technical help.

Cons

The company's work culture, at least in Hyderabad, is in a bad shape.

Promotions and appraisals are dependent on your "relationship" with your manager. Not just that, your future is enmeshed with their opinion of you.

You may be hard-working and efficient; however, if you have not engaged in the mandatory "bootlicking," you may not survive.

Technology-wise, most of it is outdated. They keep changing their organizational structure repeatedly, but their technology is just super outdated.

Advice to Management

While laying off people, please make sure you take into consideration why their names were shared. Often, a good-performing person is removed from the team, and the actual redundant lot is kept.
