Pros

Campus is good. Fruits and food are free. Work-life balance is okay. They encourage sports and other activities, like charity. Cab facility is available.

Cons

Promotions and hikes are given based on politics and closeness to the manager.

Upper management and HR ignore this partiality.

Work has no innovation, as they say these are pure maintenance projects. They claim they are in Bangalore for talent and not for cost cutting.

If you speak out, management will target you in your performance review.

Hikes are very low, and there are no stocks or other benefits. It seems they were giving a lot of benefits some years ago to get a good brand.

They keep closing teams without any long-term plans. There is no growth if you stay. I know many people who moved from one team to another aimlessly.

Advice to Management

Take action on political bosses. If you pay peanuts, you will only get monkeys.
