There is no good reason to join this company unless you are looking for some short term exposure in a multinational product company

Cons

The culture is really bad No development methodology is followed Managers hide information and always keep you in the dark Important emails reach you late No encouragement for good work or new ideas Extreme sycophancy, seniors expect you to keep quite Communication is pathetic Bangalore office has extreme toxic culture People get uncerimoniously laid off as bad performance Seniors never let you perform well Insecurity is high among senior engineers Internal tools are not maintained well Documentation is mostly incomplete You are mostly dependent and at the mercy of your senior HR is not listening to your complaints Overall it is a stressful environment with work load not estimated properly Expectations are clear and you are required to work late hours Requirements are not properly written and late additions are common Meetings are not productive because vital information is hidden to delay your output Lower employees suffer stress and higher ups don't do their part They steal ideas and make it their own

Pros

Relaxed. Management understands traditional AV industry is saturated and is trying hard to pivot the company into new direction. Whether it will work or not is to be seen.

Cons

This place really needs to re-evaluate how they hire and retain engineers. Across all disciplines, there are many senior level engineers who have no idea what they are doing. Some lack such basic engineering skills and knowledge which makes one wonder if they had proper higher level education or lied about their past career experiences on their resume. Most of them are genuinely nice people, but they are really dragging down productivity.
