Pros

Good work-life balance if your manager is sensible.

Career opportunities are available if you know the right managers.

Cons

The policy on compensations is absurd. The grievance redressal system is pathetic. Appraisals are based on an outdated "Bell curve" irrespective of the team's work. There's a disconnect between senior management and other employees.

Advice to Management

Look up from your computers. Walk around and listen to how the employees feel. The reports and presentations always paint a rosy picture.
