Pros

Manageable work-life balance and reasonable pay.

Cons
  1. Very bad management, specifically Chennai-based. Old managers who have worked here for more than 1.5 decades have lost innovation over the course of time and are now too old to even think of new stuff.

  2. The new CEO is a classic example of “Over Promise, Under Deliver.” They are trying hard to impress shareholders but, at present, seem to be failing miserably.

  3. Very toxic and anti-woman behavior. Women are often called out as diversity hires by managers (usually males).

  4. The past two years' hikes and bonuses have been miserable.

  5. Zero job security. Over the past 5+ years of my experience, I have seen firings every first half of the year. Now, it just gets publicized to lure stock prices.

  6. Unnecessary senior managers who contribute nothing but play politics and engage in sycophancy.

Advice to Management

People have lost hope in the product. You guys were the pioneers in the wallet market, but it seems you didn’t respect your strong customer base and ended up being cliché.
