Pros

Free food, snacks, and commute. There are also two snooker tables.

Business class travel (you just need a reason to travel).

Corporate credit card for anything (food and drinks).

You will have some amazing events in amazing places where the company spends a huge amount of money. Just have fun.

Apart from these perks, which mean less nothing, there is nothing worth mentioning about the real work.

Cons

Plan big, commit more, and deliver practically nothing – three signs of an amazing team you are in.

Zero work-life balance at all. If you are eager to do something and people notice that you fall on the workers' radar, you will always be working. WLB goes for a toss.

Many managers are bad. They want to do things that showcase them as the best, and don't care about any other outcome.

Good managers don't have much say because their percentage is less, and their words weigh nothing.

Work, work, work, or talk, talk, talk – you will get the same hike. Do what makes you sleep at night.

Do your regular work less; participate in events that mean nothing to get visibility.

Advice to Management

Find all the talkers in the company and make them work.

Annual focal is a joke. You don't consider the work done over the last two (or four) quarters. The last good/bad event in the team gets highlighted.

360 feedback mail comes with less than two days' time to respond.
