Pros

For most of the teams, the work pressure is lower compared to other contemporary companies.

Management is usually open to new ideas to improve productivity.

Good culture for WFH. Though no official policies are present, with a valid case, there are usually no questions asked.

Cons

There is no proper logic for pay increases. The increase in pay for a regular employee will never even meet the basic inflation rate.

It is hugely dependent on immediate management, even for these minimal benefits. Folks usually resort to reducing their performance for the same, and the company is usually fine with this unless it impacts deliverables very severely.

There is no pretense of any additional goodies or encouragement for high performers.

The tech stack is primitive in most teams, and the struggle is always there for a minor improvement in this.

Advice to Management

Due to the way management is treating pay, this company has begun to become just a bargaining chip for prospective employees who just attend interviews here and use the salary for negotiating for a better company. So many brilliant minds have left. Instead of thinking of 1,000 unnecessary reasons on why the company is losing its reputation and reach, concentrate on compensating your employees better and on updating your tech stack.
