Pros

Good work culture, excellent food, good compensation, rewards for ideas. excellent technologies. profit sharing and RSUs are also good earning modes. Patents can give u more

Cons

none that i saw. in case u come from service industry, working long shifts sometimes may be tiring. but work life balance is far better than any in NCR.

Pros

Right place for campus-hires to "just start" the career. Dream place for mid level mgmt. Refine your political skills. Because of the politics in upper and mid management, one product is built by 10 different teams under 10 different names in different locations. Everyone stays employed until buyers realize all products do the same thing. Management take things personally. Best thing to do *something* if it is your last day :) Great community inside. Nepotism among people of same state, castes and surname can be enjoyed. You just got to find your people. It is a fun place to work! The more you stay the more you get to enjoy.

Cons

It is still a half product company. No plans revealed to open call centers and bpo.

Pros

* Awesome work culture. Everyone is very helpful. HR are gr8 * People are fun loving from top to bottom. Managers are friendly * Low work pressures * Work will be good if you are in a good team. You can apply patents and innovation is present. * Great compensation in Dev. Only MS, Google, Amazon, startups can beat it. * Delhi NCR * Best looking crowd with great density ( ;) ), compared to most of the tech majors(MS/Google/Amazon)

Cons

* Middle level managers have service company mentality wanting to please their masters from US. * No work means no learning and politics if you are stuck in wrong team. * Not much vertical growth because most employees dont leave. * US trips are rare and involve lot of politics * Useless stress on Patents (specific to India ) and managers will actually tell you to even fake them to file one. This is because you get money and managers get credit if team files patents. No wonder ex-cto(Kevin) even pointed out that most of patents from India are useless for company. * If in wrong team, you may end up working on techs which are outdated * Very few IITians stay in the company because of quality of work. * Company lacks clear direction & most of the products it creates are shut down in few years.
