Pros

1)The pay is okay, compared to the market. 2)Work is fun if you like finding solutions. 3) Exposure to SAAS and Events industry is on the high. 4) Opportunities to create a network with clients is high 5) The work can be challenging but is never monotonous.

Cons

1) There is no work life balance. You work for 12 hours in a 9 hour shift, with only ungrateful behaviour from leaders. 2) Claims to pay well where in actually the company pays peanuts in comparison to the work put in by the employees. 3)Biased Management 4) HR saves leadership against POSH claims by employees 5) Highest retaliation against whistleblower 6) Their products have a gazillion flaws but all they service clients with is “make-shift” solutions. Product improvement is a a myth and SLAs for such are never concrete. 7)Teams claim to be cross functional but are highly critical of each other’s work making it appear to be a war between departments. 8) The rate of success in terms of Career growth is only high for the employees who have good relations with the Management. Others do progress but at a much slower pace. 9) They hire to fire. The LND Creates unnecessarily stressful environment during training which goes on for 3-6 months. 10) There is little to no accountability when it comes to promotions or yearly ratings. Leadership mostly use the term “bell curve” to justify anything and everything. 11) Some teams don’t even have proper documentation of processes let alone work on process improvement. SOPs are created when the need of hiring new team members arise. 12) Campus infrastructure in Gurgaon is below standards. They have like one or two floors in a building in Cyber City and advertise themselves as if they own the entire cyber city. 13) HRBPs are cruel and are often found conducting themselves as if they own the business. They lack professionalism.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits package, flexibility and control over one’s own schedule within reason. Majority of colleagues are fantastic to work with. Generally seems like they actually care about employees. Employee recognition is improving. For the role specifically, builds a lot of great soft skills that are transferable if there’s desire to move into other roles/depts.

Cons

Some aspects of benefits fall a bit short of what other large tech companies offer, but not terribly so. Putting a lot of emphasis on AI, which wouldn’t be a con if not for the uncertain landscape of job security and given some recent actions from other tech companies to fund their AI initiatives in favor of employee benefits. Promotions difficult to achieve at times even with proper performance. For this role, working with customers always has its difficulties and can sometimes feel like you’re the punching bag for things out of your control.
