Pros
  1. Decent hikes.
  2. Workplace is good.
  3. HR is very cooperative.
Cons
  1. The culture is terrible.

  2. Managers think that they are school teachers and employees are kids. They are rude and arrogant. So many junior resources had to call them 'Sir' just to satisfy their ego.

  3. In 1-on-1 meetings, they often stress about spending 9 hours in the office, but expect to work beyond 8:30 PM, as meetings are set up regularly beyond 8:00 PM.

  4. Managers don't know much about coding and technicalities. They often blabber nonsense in team meetings to show their presence. They reject your ideas but don't feel the need to explain why. They are managers, you know..

  5. When you join the org, no one takes responsibility for onboarding. A namesake buddy will be assigned who will not answer your queries nor feels necessary to set the context. Never had such a horrible experience.

  6. Micromanagement to a level that will surprise you. When you talk to a colleague in India or the US, your manager in the US will have a record of that. Unbelievable, but it happened.

  7. The hiring manager lied/cheated about the technology that I would be working on. When I expressed displeasure about the same, he threatened that he would issue a PIP.

  8. The team I worked with is totally mismanaged, and the work culture is terrible.

  9. A lot of presentations and documentation. The emphasis is more on how you prepare your presentations, not on the quality of development. The font of a specific bullet point is more important than the content.

  10. Most of the teams are peripheral to Simulink; hence, they don't find it important to write neat code.

  11. It's not a place if you are an experienced/ambitious C++ developer. Keep away from the Hyderabad office.

  12. No scope for career development. Managers won't find it important to discuss it.
