LinkedIn

Huge brand value addition on your resume! Employees are highly pampered with amazing perks & workplace facilities. Working with large scale systems & effective internal processes. Engineering is still progressing towards "best practices," so there's lots to learn.

Culture:

• Very difficult to progress (promotions), with much bureaucracy & politics.
• Have to do enough self-branding to get noticed across the organization, which in turn is the single most affecting factor during promotions.
• Small appraisal percentages, no discussion, a take-it-or-leave-it attitude.
• Most people are only interested in interacting to increase their "colleague networking" (self-branding again).
• Hypocrisy in following the company's own core values.
• Complicated organizational hierarchy.
• Very, very little fresh talent, leading to a lack of innovation and newer ideas.
• Your opinions are only as much valued as your seniority.

Engineering:

• Full of in-house tools & black boxes; you hardly acquire skills worthwhile for other employers.
• You have to learn a lot of things before you can start being useful.

Keep up the awesome facilities! All employees greatly appreciate it.

Try to implement a flat hierarchy model. It solves much of bureaucracy & negative politics.

Empower managers to be transparent with their team members.

Don't burden employees with the need of branding themselves. Let their work and annual manager evaluation speak for itself.
