Pros

I don't know, I don't know.

Cons

It's a call center, not an engineering company. It's a top-heavy company.

More management than useful people. Pace over perfection is the mantra, which is nonsense.

They just do for the sake of doing and saving themselves, you know, and not for the sake of the work.

Recently, they wasted $27 million during the adoption of a third-party vendor product. They could not identify until later stages that it was not the product for their needs.

Such is the expertise of the folks here.

Clearing the interview is easy here, so there's no expertise at all.

People who work here get stuck for a long time, unable to get out, since they work here on developed legacy systems, which are like 10 years behind the industry.

Central infrastructure teams provide infra which are just wrappers over APIs, like Spring APIs or so, which just make you useless upon using it. Since you won't know the actual technology, you just use the wrapper APIs.

If you are very good at pleasing management, then you get promotions, and not based on ability or work done.

Lot more to say, but enough for now.
