Pros

Good skill development plan Flexible timings Hybrid work culture

Cons

There is no team bonding/ team bonding activities like outings, lunch etc. No proper projects. They have only short term projects which will last for like 2-3 months.. once that is done you will be moved on to the bench and that will be very bad phase.. you have to find projects and give interviews, if you are not selected in 3 interviews during bench period (even if it is the staffing coordinator's fault by shortlisting your profile for higher experienced roles) then you will be laid off directly. There's a lot of favouritism in this company from higher management in salary hikes, projects allocation and especially promotions. They show-off clients like anything (they have good clients like google, visa, ford, pepsi, experian, p&g, mars, etc.) but you will only know about them when you join because they have a very bad work. I suggest everyone to not join the organization looking at the clients orelse your future will be in the wrong hands and you will regret this decision for sure.

Pros

Grid Dynamics was a FANTASTIC place to work. They essentially function as a resource management company where you will be contracted out to their customer for different projects. It allows for a wide variety of different opportunities.

Cons

The only downside of Grid Dynamics is that you are tied to the viability of the different contracts. While Grid makes every effort to keep you with the company between contracts, if there aren't any contracts with openings then you will be released. However, Grid has a concept of putting people on a "bench" where you get paid while you wait for a new role in a contract.
