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 company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.
