Pros
  1. Good salary
  2. Good cafeteria and facilities
Cons
  1. Poor quality of projects. Most people are doing really simple programming. You don't learn much.

  2. Highly political unit with a really bad culture.

  3. Almost 50% of the time, there won't be any work (zero work).

  4. Poor and biased management. Managers lack both tech and management skills.

  5. Almost 50% of people didn't get any hike. Management says it is their strategy to give hikes to only 50% of people to promote a high-performing culture.

  6. Managers appreciate your work and then give you poor hikes. Only near and dear ones are given good hikes.

  7. All staff engineers have left the company or moved to management. Staff engineers are treated badly.

  8. Highly judgmental management. They will judge you for everything.

  9. All good quality work is done in the US and not in India.

  10. No formal appraisal. Managers just wake up and give appraisals on their whims and fancies.

  11. People's feedback is thrown into the dustbin.

Bottomline

If you are really good at tech, stay away from the company and the unit unless you want to just take a hike and stay here temporarily.

Advice to Management

Please look into India management and take real action to prevent them from ruining the company.
