Overall good, but depends on the department and team you are in
Software Developer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
February 12, 2018
Pros: Nice learning experience with cutting-edge technologies.
Good pay.
Good work-life balance (highly depends on team and manager).
Cross-cultural work experience.
International branding.
Cons: Bad HR systems and a too bad finance team.
No perks and benefits.
They want you to learn Kannada, and most of the employees (including HRs) talk in Kannada inside the office.
They make fools of employees in the name of stock options.
Though they brag a lot about international presence and world-class branding, the pantry is worse than that of a struggling start-up.

Good People, Toxic Culture
Software Developer • Former Employee

December 11, 2019
Pros: Location and free food, maybe. And very, very few genuinely good people.
Cons: Toxicity everywhere. The passion you bring with you dies quicker than your hope of ever working on what you love. Freshers are discouraged from jumping into the domains of their passion and are told to just fill up any vacancies present. And the most toxic HR you will ever see; they are so self-pompous and ignorant. HR was the worst part of this company.
