Pros

Pros were many initially but there has been a paradigm shift. New and latest Tech specs are used. Learning capabilities are mammoth, depends on the team you are working.

Cons

1) Working from home to Work from office, mandating to 3 days. 2) In terms of flexibility, when someone is expected to work with US counterparts late night and report to office next day is not flexibility. 3) Meetings are not adjusted as per India office, people don't even consider if it is a Friday evening. They will just throw a meeting invite at you. 4) Appraisal cycle was moved to another 6 months and no logical explanation was given, if those 6 months will be compensated or not. Nothing was put forward logically. 5) To recent development a new term has been introduced as cost cutting so there will be no team Lunches which had a very low budget already and happened once every quarter. 6) Diwali's gift budget has been seeing a new low every year, so this year management decided to cut that off completely. 7) Bonus was cut short to some percentage citing a reason that company did not do well. If company did well at some stage it was not increased though. 8) No fun activities other than Dandiya and Rangoli.No Cafeteria within office premises, you will hardly get an option to eat other than finding few cookies and fruits at times.

Pros

1. Team bonding and culture. 2. Work on the latest technology. 3. Open to new ideas.

Cons

The current state of our HR policy is far from ideal. The absence of a clear definition for the number of leaves we are entitled to has resulted in many of us taking fewer leaves than we should. In the past, our policy offered flexibility in terms of office hours and the option to work from home, but recent pressure from the CTO to mandate 3 days of in-office work is causing concern. This request is particularly challenging for those of us who regularly extend our working hours late into the night to connect with colleagues in the US. The combination of inflexible office hours and an undefined leave policy is making our work environment less employee-friendly with each passing day. Furthermore, there has been a delay in the appraisal cycle, and it is disheartening that the management has not addressed the issue of compensation for this delayed period. This situation is eroding the trust and morale of the employees.

Pros

Every wednesday Rs. 500 zomato coupon from office.

Cons

Worst work life. After attending meetings till 2 am, they will pressurize you to go to office also next day. I am not sure if they consider us some super humans. They will force you to attend standups everyday at 9pm IST and in daylight saving at 10 pm, and the meeting will always stretch to minimum 12 or 12:30 mid night, irrespective of Friday. In short you don't have any personal and social life left. Then they don't offer any hikes, promotions, or full bonuses also. Toxic work culture. The team lead thinks he is the boss, he will try to manipulate you and put you under lot of pressure. There are no skip level meetings. your lead will also threaten you to layoff if you do not perform and deliver as per his wishes and as per his timelines. There is this ass-licking culture in upper management that you cant do anything about. In short I would not recommend anyone to join this company in my worst dreams also.
