Pros

A mediocre experience, I would say. Neither too bad, neither good.

If you are passionate about the networking domain, make sure you land in the correct BU. Many of them are working on outdated legacy technology.

Cons

My view is for the BU where I worked.

  • You may be putting all the hard work and delivering the milestones, but it may not translate into appropriate reward in your work compensation. At the end, you feel exploited.

  • Leadership is sluggish and clumsy. They are just trying to reinvent the same things in a clumsy way. There is no clear vision for execution. On top of that, certain people in leadership really don't have the acumen and aura to motivate people around. They are out of touch with ground reality and building air castles.

  • They are working on legacy technology and trying to repackage it just to survive. If you are ambitionless and prefer the comfort zone, feel free to join. But a talented and hungry person would be wasting themselves here.

  • I have to say on work ethics too. While you are on time off, which you earned after putting in loads of hard work, don't think it is time off that you want to relax with your family. The manager will call randomly anytime and ask some trivial things which they could have managed themselves. That speaks of the class of the leadership people there. On top of it, they will make your life hell during the notice period. They will try to load you with all kinds of new work items and make you work until the last minute.

  • A very dull work culture. For them, employees are just daily wage laborers.

  • Lots of sponsored reviews with good ratings will be here, as they are concerned about the negative feedback.
