Pros
  • Good perks like free food, cabs and transport, frequent team outings.
  • Training opportunities are good.
Cons

Some teams have no roadmaps or goals. There is a lack of good projects. The culture is to come up with your own projects and execute them, or only work on supporting existing projects. Coming up with projects requires various levels of approvals and is not easy.

Lack of recognition. Only those who work long hours are appreciated, not those who deliver.

Not everyone's ideas or inputs are considered. There seems to be favoritism.

It is not very easy to interact with other teams if the work requires it.

Traveling using office transport is not convenient due to fixed, inflexible timings.

Advice to Management
  • Encourage teams to work together when there are cross-domain projects. Provide employees with opportunities to travel to improve interaction with teams working remotely.

  • Improve the performance evaluation procedures and make the process more transparent. Recognize those who deliver.

  • Don't hire if there is no need. Many teams lack good projects or work but keep hiring. Promote internal team switches for employees.
