Pros

The only pro I felt was WFH which has now been changed to 2 days WFO. Unlimited leaves would have been a pro but it is logically capped at 27.

Cons

Coming to the cons, the culture in many project seems to be toxic. The manin reason behind this is due to young and weak leadership. PMs are not able to properly manage the projects and handle the client's. The developers are not shielded and there is no barrier b/w the client and them. Moreover, there is no technical lead position which is really required for software development. Underestimatimg the time by the sales team to the client without consulting the product teams when the project starts. This transparent culture that these people talk about is absolute non-sense. First of all, I tend to believe absolute transparency is not required But still, in the name of transparency, these weekly townhall have no usage and does not add anything. It is just an echo chamber for the CEO and other executives to regurgitate the same thing. Coursera licence are never given to anyone. Horrible policy. It should be present to all employees by default. Not on a first come first serve. This is not a buffet.

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
