Pros

The first & foremost I got inspired & motivated cuz of the US Team who has a helping mind The good thing which I feel about this company is evening biscuit snacks, Britannia 50/50, Parle G if you're lucky enough you might get a chance to taste Britannia GOOD DAY Macbook: They used to provide Mac initially for the employees but at the moment, it's not been provided cuz the Company head says that build quality of Indian Mac is not so good as US. Think, this is the first time I'm hearing this off. Even a person whose IQ is below 80 would mock at him and if Apple hears this off, they might build a temple for our so called company head…

Cons

management is sensitive to criticism In all hands meeting, company's CEO threatens everyone for talking the actual fact in the Glassdoor Zero Work-Life Balance This is the worst place to work at any point in your career whether you are a fresher or if you're experienced. They don't care about your learning and they don't care about you as an employee. The work culture is the worst here in Bangalore for the past few months especially after the arrival of new Company Head. It is very demotivating and can get very ugly most of the times. Even if they're offering you a significant raise, don't take the offer. You will thank me.

Pros

Remote Work with good people The actual delivery work is very easy

Cons

Very easy work is also very boring. You won't be challenged here. phData being owned by private equity now means you will be exploited. The higher up the chain you go, the more you are expected to participate in sales responsibilities, without any additional pay. Solutions architects can be expected to work up to 10 or 15 extra hours per week doing this, unpaid, beyond the 40 hours of delivery work required. And the only way to get promoted is to willingly exploit oneself in this way. They don't really care about delivery excellence anymore, and they certainly don't take employee preferences and experience into account when assigning to projects. It's all about getting a butt in a seat and charging the client, maximizing the margin, because at phdata, the workers are the product.
