Never join.. Very insecure job

Pros

Managers here can be fooled very easily.They are highly paid. Some of managers who are converted from senior architect position do not have product knowledge and management skills. They are good for nothing. They always tried to defend themselves from management. They can be fooled very easily by claver people. Because of poor management some people have 2-3 projects and some are free. They do not have common sence.

Cons

1. PMO can efficiently manage team so as general there is no need of managers as PMO can better manage. They do not have work at all so they play politics and ruin culture. They take months to approve a sick leave or floating leave. 2. 2 hour discussion for a problem that has 5 mins solution. 3. Management Should be honest and transparent about promotion. 4. No Technical exposure(same work every day) and harnesses makes you Excel Expert. 5. No salary benchmarking. 6. No hike 2.2 - 5.0 % hike it is even lessor then inflation. 7. Aristocrat is known for HIRE AND FIRE policies. 8. Favouritism makes you tech lead in 3.5 years of experience and some are not even senior engineer at 4 years of experience. 9. No Onsite opportunities. 10. Managers do not have common sense but i am amazed how they are good in playing politics. 11. "ARISTOCRAT HR TEAM ASKS PEOPLE TO POST GOOD REVIEWS WHEN THERE RATING GOES DOWN IN GLASSDOOR". 12. You will laugh at reasoning ability of managers here. Also they are very arrogent.

Pros

Excellent work life balance because there is no work pressure at all.

Cons

1. You will loose your technical skills, as there is hardly any quality work. 2. Firing: Highly insecure place to work. You will constantly hear firing news, at all levels. 3. Favoritism is very high for no reasons related to work. 4. Hikes are very low, and favorites get hike multiple times in a year while some don't get even once. Believe me. 5. It believes in hiring new people rather than thinking and correcting why people are leaving. 6. Managers are given full powers to do what they want. 7.Appraisal meetings are like jokes. Everything was good still you can get a rating of 3 or 4.

Best place to work with.Flexible timings.Just need to complete 40 hrs a week(you can come 6 hrs for three days and 11 hrs next 2 days). Very good salary at the time of joining.Work life balance is very good.Peers are very friendly.Not much work if you work for 4hrs it is enough.Company spends lots of money on parties.A lot of outing is done every year including 3 day trip to some place .You will enjoy every moment spend here

Cons

Kind of work is poor.Can ruin your career.Becomes very difficult to change company as domain is very bad You can be fired any time without any reason. Firing is done almost every 6 months. nobody is spared.
