Pros

The only thing that was good was the pay. The salaries are higher than what most companies dole out.

Cons

Work life balance goes for a toss. Timings are between 2 pm and 11 pm ( often extends well beyond 1am) , no employee development, most of the analytics work is data mining and creating reports ( for which they need not recruit from the best b schools) , the US analytics office treats Indian employees as if they have no brains and send all repetitive, data mining work to India. Analytics is more or less data mining . Don't be fooled by the puzzles and highly intellectual questions posed in the interviews or the number of rounds of interviews.

Pros

Pay relative to others, benefits, clean work environment.

Cons

The policies that employees were supposed to convey to customers were ridiculous and unrealistic. For example, caps on the amount of your own money you can withdraw in a certain amount of time. How can an employee be expected to support something like that and then defend it to the clients.

Pros

Excellent infrastructure and facilities Latest technologies to work on Air-conditioned and wi-fi buses Work from home facility

Cons

Politics - is the serious thing that makes the whole environment a hell. Everyone above managers have attitude problems Salary, promotions and awards are only for people who managers like and not based on the individual's performance. All decisions are very biased towards developers and if you are a tester @ Paypal, then its time to look out for some good organization where testers are respected. Biased decisions in making permanent positions. Organization spends a lot towards extra-curricular activities but less on individual's growth. No Career counselling. No transparency in important decisions. 0% help from HRs - HR's over here are just come for timepass, dance and to participate in special events. They really dont care about employee's problems. Contracters are ill-treated by both the management and by their own HRs
