Pros: - Talented and friendly colleagues - Interesting projects and opportunities to learn - I still enjoy aspects of the work and the mission of the company

Cons: - Increasingly micromanaged environment: your working hours are closely monitored, and even the number of PRs and tickets you complete is tracked obsessively - Promotions are no longer based on technical skills but instead depend on how well you present yourself or how good you are at internal politics - Recently, around 30 people were laid off with the justification that they “didn’t perform as expected,” which created a lot of fear and uncertainty among the remaining team - Morale is declining as the culture shifts from trust and autonomy to pressure and surveillance - Collaboration and team support are discouraged because activities like pairing or mentoring take time away from individual ticket delivery, which is penalized - There is a mandatory one-week on-call rotation with no additional compensation or benefits. Developers are expected to respond within 15 minutes at any hour, meaning they can’t travel, relax, enjoy time with family, go out, or even get a proper night’s sleep during that week. In practice, this amounts to 24/7 availability with no recognition or reward

Pros: Only place where I can my manager show genuine interest in me growing professionally and encouraging me to take up certifications. Good fun activities also & team members who help colleagues when needed. Ops teams help you genuinely when you have issues here in BLR office & feels everyone is reachable if needed at any point in time.

Cons: Sometimes its hard to get code reviews in time from US pods & makes us wait. Can get better.

Pros: - The pay is good, and the people are good.

Cons: - bad management - bad morale - poor time off - burnout and stress - inflated egos of senior people
