Pros

Certain teams have great bonding.

Cons

- No travel opportunity for Indian employees. - Very tough to climb up in leadership ladder in India. The top management doesn't want any outsider amongst them. - 5 days work from office. The orders are imposed as if the employees are slaves. - The leadership head conducts townhalls only to contradict their own statements. Once we were told hybrid model is here to stay. In the next one, wfo is the only option. - If an employee isn't working from office, his contribution is not considered. - Townhalls only talk about CSR initiatives and nothing about the organization and it's performance. - The top management takes things personally and don't bat an eyelash before shouting at their employees. - Height of favouritism. - LDPs are being given all the opportunities. No regard for experienced employees.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
