Pros

The compensation package is really good compared to jobs that we can get with equivalent skill elsewhere.

(This is the sole reason people stick around.)

Personally, my performance reviews went extremely well.

Cons

Lots of processes.

Little importance given to developer productivity. Automation is almost nonexistent. Too much time spent on manually accomplishing what is automated everywhere.

Learning curve not steep enough for those passionate about software development. You'll be surrounded by mediocrity.

Pays lip service to innovation without committing. Too comfortable with the status quo (look at Paytm vs mVisa).

Advice to Management

Look at how the best big companies operate in order to be an employer of choice. Money cannot be the sole motivator for long.

Visa continues to be a leading player in payments only because disruption is difficult in the space occupied by Visa & MasterCard.

But when you fail to innovate and adopt best practices, it will eventually bite you.
