Horrible experience for me as Sr Tech leader..
Pros
1. Flexible timings 2. Wfh depends on client projects or managers 3. Performance hike is meaningful till E4, Tech leads. 4. Its a good company if below cons doesn't bother you or if they don't effect you.
Cons
Many.. 1. Politics bw gurgaon and other locations, higher management is at ggn for many of the core projects and the left over piece is generally shared with other locations, same applies for on site opportunities as well. 2. Frequent policy change wrt annual review cycle. 3. No arrears for Sr Tech lead and above when salary cycle shifted from FY to CY in 2019. 4. No bonus will be paid (15%) for Sr Tech lead... Even if you have completed 1 year... Since u r in notice. I have completed 1year 3 months but notice was not paid despite year long hard efforts. 4. HRs generally agrees with what directors or avps suggest. 5. Many unethical practices I have seen during my tenure as manager wrt giving bad ratings and laying off employees. 6. The reasons shared by non competent non technical managers during performance reviews are discouraging. 7. They never pay variable bonus full amount.. Quarterly mails from ceo says we are in record profit.. But yearly bonus payouts are degrading year by year. 8. Every one works on name sake proposals just to satisfy their managers in ladder.. Very few are customer centric... The feeling what I have seen in many managers or directors are it doesn't matter if we get this project or not.. Which is not a healthy sign. 9. If you know java.. They feel you are good for java script. If you know. Net they feel u r good in python.. Haha... I have seen many such instances.. 10. Management will listen to you only when you are in niche skill set and you have resigned.. This is the only time they will remember that you exist in the company.. You will be getting calls from all levels of management to stay back with some peanut hikes and on site offerings...
