Pros

Fancy HQ Office in the heart of Bangalore, Stock Options

Cons

1. Very old school work culture - micro management, lauding late nights, disturbing in personal time is a practice, bias towards people from same background. 2. Zero Innovation - repeating same products with new names 3. Employee stay here only for stock options 4. Top Management like CEO/CFO keeps changing every 6 months 5. Work Life balance is a myth 6. HR team - outdated; lacks knowledge and is often unable to answer any query. No training or career development provided. Laws and policies - employees are asked to read and understand from HR portal. Employees face sudden tax cuts/LOP's with no information or explaination. 7. No bonus or hike since last 5 years and at the same time top management organizes events in luxurious hotels 8. Outdated technology and systems provided 9. Bias between HQ and branch offices. Few branches like Kolkata have broken ceiling. 10. Engagement activity is almost nil. No intervention in terms of culture, employee development or training. 11. Women employees are very little in number. Managers openly make sexist jokes and insult them. 12. Average age group working here is old 40-50 yrs. Young employees leave within 1 year of joining. 13. Unprofessional subsidiary entities
