Pros

V slow like Indian Government office kind of culture not only in India office but globally. Hence good to retire as no work pressure and almost similar increments to all. Easy to manage work life balance as things r very slow and nothin moves ahead. Team Managers senior management r hired with expectations to manage people n project only and are not supposed to know BAU or products or subject. Hence good for SME working in teams as they run the whole show and get good opportunity to learn every thing which helps in growing during job change

Cons

No salary band Manager might be at v low salary comparing to its reporting team Unorganised setup nothing is documented n most of the departments r lethargic No goals n objective settings increments r similar to all but but high for favourites only including bonus Interview n offer letter process takes more then 3months as HR is very slow including business who need to respond to HR for any queries etc. No scope for high performer outsider to move at management level as the senior management is old furniture in company who has not changed nor moved ahead. They keep every thing to them and expect other staff to just do BAU and people management rest aspects are managed by few Old senior staff only.

Pros

The only good thing about this place were the Nespresso machines.

Cons

I rarely leave reviews, but future job seekers deserve fair warning. From day one, it was clear that micromanagement was a core operating principle here; not a quirk, but a feature. Managers routinely hovered over routine tasks, demanded pointless status updates multiple times a day, constantly changed directives, took credit for my work, and treated experienced professionals like they couldn't be trusted to send an email unsupervised. Any sense of autonomy was purely cosmetic. The culture was equally poisonous. Gossip wasn't background noise; it was practically a department function. Colleagues regularly spoke poorly of one another behind closed doors, cliques formed and hardened fast, and if you weren't part of the right group, you felt it. Unkind doesn't begin to cover it. Basic professionalism and common decency were in short supply. Management set the tone for all of it. Leaders who should have modeled integrity instead participated in the drama, played favorites openly, and addressed conflict with either complete avoidance or outright retaliation. HR was not a resource — it was a shield for bad behavior at the top. I left for my own sanity. The turnover rate here should tell you everything. Life is too short and your career too important to spend either in an environment like this one.
