Pros

The best part is the good work environment and supportive colleagues. There are also various recognition processes for good job done. There are loads of interesting challenges, and platforms to showcase skills. Great internal opportunities as well!

Cons

As with every company in India, cheap politics are an integral part, however, that can be avoided by a little intelligence.

Pros

1. Good Platform for skill development 2. Global teams, so useful for comprehensive career development

Cons

1. No work from home policy which is a negative aspect because in today's day and age some flexibility in work is required. This can also benefit the organization as they can save on peripheral expenses including office infrastructure, commute etc. 2. Non-standard workflows. Many aspects of the job such as administrative work, other employee requirements are non standardized and changes from team to team. A better structure could help on this. 3. Poor recruitment. Hiring from local colleges (especially in Bentley India) has lead to some poor talent management. Also orientation is non standard and incomplete which leads to confusion.
