Pros

The technologies used are not bad to learn. They are pretty much aligned with current industry trends. Good salary and benefits. It will be useful in terms of promotions if you can wait for a longer period of time.

Leadership does listen to employee concerns and tries to fix them, but only when the issue is at a large scale.

Cons

Products are very mature, and leadership is not interested in bringing new products or services. They just want to stick with payments and take very little or no risk.

Hence, once you know the product, there is almost no learning curve afterward, which is a waste of time for a learner, especially freshers.

Another thing is the attitude of engineers at the Foster City center, which is not very good towards their counterparts at other centers like Bangalore. This can sometimes be frustrating, but you can always lead by example.

One last thing: they always cry for a budget for any event, despite having such great revenue.

Advice to Management

Bangalore leadership, they just talk, don't do anything significant on various concerns in the Bangalore office. Please, please do real work on points which you show at various gatherings.

Evening snacks are the worst, and biscuits are there if you are hungry. Please have a dedicated cook on one of the floors for evening snacks.
