Pros
Competitive and decent pay compared to the market • Company provides cabs and meals, which is helpful • Work culture is generally professional • Not very rigid about the number of working hours as long as work gets done • Teams and managers are largely supportive, and the work itself is meaningful
Cons
Sudden removal of the hybrid model and shift to 5 days work from office is disappointing • In cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore, daily commuting can easily take 2–3 hours, which is exhausting and unproductive • For roles like Principal Customer Success Manager, most work involves client interactions across regions (calls, emails, Teams meetings) and can be done effectively remotely • The time lost in commuting could be better used for focused work, improving productivity and employee well-being • A full-time office mandate risks pushing away experienced employees who joined appreciating the flexibility and balance offered earlier
