Pros

Great job security - but it's expected with a compromise - poor pay. free food and beverages - compromise - employees are always together (with managers) and less opportunities to know the real job market.

Cons

Poor pay - advantage of a great job security. politics and discrimination in career growth - Coimbatore office most preferable for Keralites and Coimbatore natives. poor knowledge economy - opportunities to learn are minimal - technical work can be sufficiently handled by a fresh graduate - so long-termers are normally not high salaried - dumbos exist and are sufficient. poor and inexperienced mid-level managers - supported by fast growth in headcount in the years 2008-2012, there are many new mid-level managers/direct managers with poor people handling competence - mostly drive the employees crazy and motivate them to quit. Attrition is increasing - but will not be visible on papers - as intake is sufficient to reduce this to a low level. Hardware domain is very hard to find a switch !

Pros

Work-life balance is great and getting an internship extended is very common.

Cons

Not on the cutting edge of tech at all and they seem to move slowly much like the rest of the auto industry.
