Pros

The company’s culture is good. Work-life balance is also good for most of the year. Job security is somewhat better than it is on average in the tech industry.

Cons

Very little interesting work. Lots of boring procedural work that doesn’t require coding. Not enough scope for growth (professionally and monetarily). The designations given to people are extremely haphazard and confusing.

Advice to Management

When you hire people from rigorous educational backgrounds through a difficult and thorough interview process, you should give them more challenging assignments to work on. Stop hiring in bulk from no-name colleges. Stop giving random, puffed-up sounding designations to people, hoping that it will offset the poor increment structure.
