Work life balance , no work at times, slow work On site

Cons

A lot of politics Company driven by only seniors and old employees You need to gossip and spread rumours to survive You need to be in good books of your manager by taking them out to party, sharing drink, going at their flats, etc You cannot be a strong independent person here Your piece of mind would be lost once you join here

Pros

- Compensation is at par with the industry standards - Good for people who are not enthusiastic & have a laid back attitude.

- People working this organization for few years have a lot of attitude. - Zero innovation - You need to be a follower to survive in this organization. You can't have your own opinion. - Not an open work culture. - Technical Architects lack technical knowledge. - Poor management. - People working in this organization for a couple of years have a fear that they will loose there importance if they share all information to the younger guys coming in for work.
