Pros
  • Great product (consumer, order, base, WLA).
  • Some great people (at least some people who I know).
Cons
  • Zero work-life balance.
  • Fear of getting fired anytime, based on the CEO's mood.
  • Cannot freely ask questions to senior management.
  • Your opinion does not matter; neither does anyone else's, except the CEO's.
  • Only one-way discussions happen.
  • There is so much push on bringing culture fit that it kills enthusiasm among people to do productive work.
  • Working from 9 to 9 is less; stories and legends are told of people working all night every day as if it is a good thing.
  • The most surprising thing is that the top brass here takes pride in the bad work culture. Contrary to being open to criticism and improving themselves, they only want slaves who can do what they are told. Original thinking and ideas are discouraged.
  • Experienced people are treated very badly. Their earlier experience means nothing; in short, fresher equals experienced.

All the bad press which you hear is so true. Better stay away.

Advice to Management

From my entire time here, I have just understood one thing: the top management is beyond redemption.
