Pros
  • Good work based on the team and projects.
  • Free food.
Cons
  • For most of the benefits that they talk about, employees end up paying from their own pocket, e.g., medical insurance.
  • They will tell you that the company will reimburse you for a lot of hobbies and activities that you may want to pursue, but it turns out you end up paying for it.
  • HR will lie to you before joining, and they don't disclose all the hidden details about benefits.
  • Car lease and higher education benefits are not applicable for all employees; only if you want to stay here for the next 10 years will these benefits be applicable.
  • They will talk so much about being employee-friendly and caring, but there's no reimbursement for basic home office setup for new joinees.
  • Most of the benefits that you see are pretty much available with almost every other company, so nothing new here.
  • New joinees get old, used laptops. I know this isn't a big deal, but it shows how cheap the organization can be.
  • The funniest thing is they give you a 2000 Rupee gift card on your birthday and project it as if they bought you a Ferrari.
Advice to Management
  • Stop lying to lateral hires.
  • Stop projecting self-paid things as benefits.
