Pros

Open for ideas at a lower level, and you get opportunities to work on ideas, but make sure current work is not lagging.

Trying for new technologies, though not able to overcome old processes.

  • Free lunch,
  • Free shuttle, but timing is not great with Bangalore traffic.

Good work environment and infrastructure (not excellent).

Good work-life balance.

Some teams get company-sponsored mobile, a small discount on NVIDIA products, and, once a year, the purchase of gear like T-shirts and bags for free.

WFH depends on managers.

CompOff depends on the manager when working on weekends or extra hours.

Cons

Switching jobs internally might be difficult. Some managers behave like a service company manager and depend on teams, but that's not bad, to be honest. The complex environment is made more complex by old and legacy processes, and the inability to adapt new processes without disrupting the old ones. This leads to not being able to learn much. Training is not great. There's no bonus, and stocks are always fluctuating, which is not great. There are no team outings and only one party in a year. There are not many negative factors, and all are bearable.

Advice to Management

Please do concentrate on India and more centers in other states. Chennai is also a software hub, and you are concentrating on Bangalore, where traffic is hectic. This is just productivity loss and a waste of time.
