      Pros

      Join only if you are good at sweet talking with managers

      Cons

      Employees should always try to be in good books of managers.. Else you are screwed. Managers don't bother about technical knowledge or the quality of work you do. You can always be close to higher management and get away with sub-par work. Try to talk against the process or policies and be ready to get screwed big time.

      Hi there, thank you for leaving your review on Glassdoor and for saying a few words about your experience working for our company in Bangalore as Senior Software Developer. We regret to hear that you're far from happy with the management of your department and we hope that we can encourage you to share your story via our Ethics line as well, so this can be looked into further: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Either way, our management also monitors this platform, so your review definitely won't escape their attention. Wishing you all the best moving forward.

      Pros

      Great company with great work environment. Work quality of life is excellent. Good benefits and good vacation time.

      Cons

      Lots of change based on changing times. Your way of working will change somewhat at least every couple of years.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
