Pros

Good place for freshers. Product-based company with great brand value.

Different projects with different technologies. Chance to enhance technical skills (depending on project) and switch projects after a certain time.

Better remuneration than others, but definitely not paymasters like Google, Microsoft, or Amazon.

Cons

• Hectic schedule may cause work-life imbalance (depending on project). • Poor planning of projects and frequent requirement changes can be chaotic. • Strict hierarchy in both decision-making and development processes. • HQ is seen as the ultimate authority, which needs to change to foster creativity and hear the voices of developers from other regions.

Advice to Management

Stand up to HQ and persuade them to listen to others as peers.

Skills, education background, and talent should be the deciding factor for pay and promotions, not solely the number of years of experience.

Take more lateral hires from IITs and NITs.
