Pros

Slightly better than average compensation; most people are overpaid.

Lunch and breakfast in cafeteria.

Good insurance coverage.

Cons

Office politics and nepotism.

Promotions on the basis of time spent in the company rather than performance.

In general, no mentorship and help in personal growth from managers (prevalent). Your background and interests are never considered.

Very low increments with high performance ratings.

No work satisfaction; mostly bureaucracy consumes time, even at the fresher level.

Difficult to change teams within the organization.

Nobody in the surrounding has enthusiasm about their work.

Average work is appreciated as an achievement.

Advice to Management

The management has to start taking employees and their interests seriously if they want their employees to perform beyond mediocrity.

More likely, the management itself is not motivated to achieve much, and thus the whole system seems unmotivated and lethargic. This needs to be changed to create a healthy work culture.
