Pros

(This is all squarely in the past) Worked with brilliant, experienced, smart, dedicated, and motivated people (now pretty much all on the way out, voluntarily or otherwise) Great work/life balance and built up a good culture (all top notch smart individuals!) Good opportunities for self-development on "bench time" Independent from the "mothership" (main Wipro Digital or Wipro Ltd) - no longer exactly true Some really great challenging work over the years, though can't share details on all the important organisational shortcommings that made things go wrong almost recurringly!

Cons

Where to start: Work was a lot of firefighting instead of what's been advertised all through hiring - however good the teams were able to deliver, wasn't what everyone set out to do Never the right project/client/timeline/client partner/etc - very few projects became shining case-studies Very little (if any) adequate work trickling in, left great professionals demoralized and leaving for better pastures Parent organization wasn't really interested in supporting this niche to succeed - likely to close off before the next financial year ends (other studios globally might remain functional for longer) Good people have left/are leaving/have been made redundant - smarter ones left earlier and didn't get hit by the pandemic woes - few strong surviving for personal reasons until they find better options Speaking of which, Covid-19 showed a lot of true colours: don't have enough time or space to write how awfully this was all handled by so-called leadership, awful communications during this whole ordeal, pushing people on furlough away to be out-of-sight/out-of-mind, ending with quite literally a last-minute redundancy option out of nowhere, some people really struggled with their personal lives and had zero support or empathy from anyone within leadership/management, and a disconnected HR from the parent organization. Shows clearly Wipro Ltd employment practices in full swing, and people are meat for the grinder. What's left behind is the shambles of a once great digital transformation studio that wasn't really ever properly capitalized by the Great Leaders, good professionals tried fixing it, optimists like myself tried to push through, in the end not allowed to support clients in improving their businesses with quality digital engineering... The thankless sad bitter ending to this employment is at least over soon!

Pros

Positive and supporting work culture where employees feel valued and respected. Team environment is very friendly and colleagues are always willing to help each other, which creates a collaborative atmosphere.

Cons

I would not 100% consider it as cons as its common thru most MNC's. But opportunities for fast career progression can vary depending on the project or team.

Pros

There are no pros to working for Wipro.

Cons

This company is a sh** show. There are too many managers and less and less people to do the actual work. They have people that negotiate contracts and then expect the company to make money. In reality, most of the time the contract is basically giving the house away. It is the employees that suffer. When the contracts go south, they cut more people. Those people are then screwed over. Be warned!! If your position ends on the 25th of the month, your health insurance also ends on the 25th of the month. Note that the premium you paid, is not pro-rated, justifying the end of coverage on the 25th. You still pay the usual premium, which should then have your coverage run through the end of the month. If they can destroy a person, they will. They want more and more and more from their employees. While they preach all this mental health, work life balance, it's a sham. They have no regard for the well being of the employee, which carries over to the employee's family.
