Pros

* Well-defined work policies just on paper * Supportive peers in some teams

Cons

* Clear gap between documented policies and actual implementation — managers frequently override them * Leadership mindset in some teams appears outdated and misaligned with the expectations of a modern workforce, contributing to attrition among newer employees * Lack of empathy in people decisions, including instances where pregnant employees were expected to work from office regardless of circumstances, even within HR teams * Employees are pressured or questioned for taking legitimate leave or WFH, sometimes linked to appraisals or confirmation * Concerns around professionalism, within senior HR managers informally speaking negatively about their reportees * Company-wide engagement surveys are conducted annually, yet HR team scores continue to decline and no one cares as it has become a tick mark activity to get the survey filled by forcing people just to showcase 100% completion report * Noticeable lack of gender diversity at leadership levels, raising concerns about inclusivity and representation report *Flexibility and hybrid culture depends on the manager and In headoffice this culture is hardly seen * lack of internal growth as its a flat organization *bias in internal job movements

I don't really find many cons working at this place, Salary structure could have been a bit better. It is a good company to start off in your career
