Pros

Pays well above salaries at many other places in the valley. Great benefits. Nice people to work with. Somewhat open culture.

Cons

Competition within the company can foster innovation, but it has been taken overboard. There are tens of overlapping projects, few of which are maintained, all of which were originally designed to replace all the others, and yet none of which can be removed or replaced. The IT team largely lacks effective leadership, and has a three-month horizon (anything that will take longer than three months is automatically squashed as being impractical, will never get done, etc.). There is no overall view of goals, or where things are ultimately headed, other than "break things, get stuff done, and have fun."

Pros

Best in industry perks Free food Transport facilities are amazing So many perks The BRAND Career transformation opportunities are Good and above all The CEO who is probably the best and most inspiring leader in the industry

Cons

In Customer Operations Bangalore maintaining work life balance is difficult. Higher Management should do something about this Unrealistic goals are set up without any scientific study and basis Micro management and strict break time tracking is uncalled for Pressure is there to exceed the unrealistic goals on daily basis by immediate management Company is great but GCO Bangalore is not a good place to work
