Pros

I liked this company a lot. Very good work life balance. So many events for employee engagement.

Cons

I don't have much to say. Only thing is that there is very few opportunities for inter team movement.

Pros

I joined this company with great hope and for long term prospective; quite impressed with the hiring manager and his frankness about work and expectations. Enjoyed initial couple of years and learned a lot as long as I worked for that manager. But once I moved to different team, found the managers really have haterated towards north Indians, even do not want discuss and listen when share something. I have been hearing such things from other north Indian people, but when I worked under those managers really found whatever they used to say are absolutely TRUTH... That made me suffocated and made frustrated and forced me to look out some other company to work... Overall, it’s a great company with great values, but very bad people in top management and human resources, who keep their eyes closed even if knowing all these things

Cons

There are many areas where I can highlight, but the most crucial one I would like to highlight and most important for management to work on if they really want to improve the culture and treat equally everyone. 1) Development teams are treated badly and blamed for bugs/issues, where as QA engineers have to be questioned. 2) Need to hire competent QA engineers, who have potential to learn and add value to testing; rather just running set of test cases without understanding what those tests do 3) I worked in other companies and now working in a start up company, found a lot of difference when I compare with progress software india. In Progress Software India, Dev engineer is responsible for development to unit testing to functional testing to test automation and moreover, responsible for regression issues/bugs. And no one can dare to question QA team for this, even if someone asks for, he/she will be targeted and treated badly. 4) I am sorry to say bluntly, I have never seen such horrible QA managers and engineers (except few, can count in finger tips).
