Pros

Free food, Free Cab, Good for non technical people.

Cons

HR people are literally illiterate esp When they Say we are customizing Global Policies to Local Standards. Their main focus is just fill in numbers. No quality people. Leadership team was supportive till it was under Arvind. But once things were handed to local leadership, it literally turned from MNC to Local AZ Chennai. No proper increment nor proper justification in appraisal cycle. Its 2 years and still they are in phase of creating new policies People who resigned are treated badly and no proper documentation is given to them unless you chase HR's and Directors day in and day out. No Proper Full and Final Settlement process.. Still it goes on and on and on...

Pros

Good people at the grass roots level. The pay is still very good. There will be growth opportunities at the core sites as other sites shut down.

Cons

Questionable direction from senior leaders; a high risk strategy with changes to sites. Morale is generally low even for people who have survived site closures because they know they could be next.
