Pros

Benefits at GM are outstanding. The bonus is excellent.

Cons

Occupied by people from South of India, they have made GM their home. They recruit people from their hometown first back in India; if not, then their state, for example, Tamil Nadu.

If your manager is Indian and the majority of team members are Indian too, do not join that team.

Favoritism is very common. If you are an Indian, I would suggest joining a different team.

Layoffs are common. They won’t lay off leaders who made wrong decisions that lead to such situations.

HRs are mostly controlled by managers. No matter what they say during onboarding about values and all, if you have a problem with the manager and you feel HR would help, that’s a lie.

Retaliation is very normal. Although they say that they will make sure there is no retaliation, that’s normal, and they will make your life miserable.

Advice to Management

Let go Marry Bara. She is fit for retirement.
