Pros

WLB is usually good. Leadership is taking some measures in terms of people policies that cater to needs outside of salaries. Three months of paternity leave, for example, is pretty good. Leave policies are employee friendly.

Cons

Senior management lack the leadership qualities and seldom support their subordinates.

There is no motivation from within the team or from the manager, which makes you complacent if you don't like a fast-paced environment.

If you are talented, you would likely be underutilized here.

There is no proper process for new joiners.

Lately, the recruitment process is lackluster, and management is desperate to hire people due to extremely high attrition. A good bunch of talented people have already left or are leaving.

Salary levels are not at par with the market.

Long-term employees are not valued at all, yet managers boast of long-term commitment.

There are no efforts for retention, but it is acceptable to hire people with lower experience at nearly 50% higher pay.

The quality of work and WLB are going down since new joiners are scrambling with no proper skills to understand the large codebase, as a result of desperate hiring.

Bad outlook, even with such promising 5G market potential.

Advice to Management

No advice since they are as oblivious to seething concerns as it can get.

Damage has already been done in terms of product, process, and talent quality.
