Pros

Industry leader.

Good domain and technology to work with.

No dearth of money.

Compensation is good.

Cons

They opened recently in India. Most of the top-level employees, especially in Mobile, are converts from Visa vendors, which are mostly service-based companies.

These employees, in turn, have brought in the labor culture of their parent companies and created their own lobbies. Employees who are not from these companies are sidelined completely and have absolutely zero visibility.

These vendor converts are further trying to ensure that they convert more people from their previous companies and are making life difficult for the non-vendors so that they leave the organization.

You may be told about a specific job profile during the interview, but when you finally join, you will be given different work.

There is complete chaos.

US employees are completely cut off and don't bother. Hence, everything is run by these vendor employees, who have tacit support from US bosses since they have a good hold on these products.

Advice to Management

Recruit good technical people from product-based companies and establish a proper culture.
