Good compensation and benefits, including free food (good quality), a gym, medical insurance, and yearly educational reimbursements, among others.
A lot of technology to work with. Freedom to work on any interesting tech.
Hack days and technical training.
Work-life balance is given due respect. It's fun working with great, talented people.
QPR - quarterly performance review attached to the rewards & then pushbacks on deserved recognitions, has killed the innovative and collaborative culture.
Non-smart hires, delayed hires, untimely priorities, lack of trust at the executive management level, and job insecurity have ruined the place.
If you want to maintain the center in Bangalore, give the executives/center heads the freedom to run the show and have them report to higher up in the chain, close to or directly to the CEO.
Reporting to an L3 or L4 in the chain itself shows you don't have an interest in maintaining a center and loses employees' trust in upper management.
