Pros

- Good culture. Embrace and support employees to do their best - Some business units have started working on latest tech like - AI and ML - Highly technical knowledge oriented colleagues. - Good pay and benefits - Internal Job movements - can change after serving in a role for 2 years. - OBL's - Out bound learning activities is fun.

Cons

- Most of the projects work on Legacy systems, which means your technical growth on latest tech can be limited. - Work pressure is extremely high and demanding in some BU's - Work place politics ( may be due to the average staying period of an employee is high here and ppl are not willing to accept change easily)

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
