Mediocre Pay, Diminishing Innovation Great Peers

Pros

Good work life balance Decent perks Amazing peers (atleast the ones that are still here)

Cons

Pay is sub-par in the current market (even after the recent 5% hike gimmick across India). HR and senior management are well aware of this, but couldn't care less. Level of innovation isn't what it used to be. This, combined with the salary, is driving the smart people out. People are getting 100% hikes elsewhere. Another minor thing: food sucks. Big time. It's worse than what I had in my hostel during my time as a student in college.

Work on latest technology, good health insurance

Cons

Too much politics Too many Indians who bring their stupid political mindset to work environment here, average engineers getting promoted based on favoritism instead of ability or performance They claim to be innovative but in reality are not compared to other companies

Pros

Flex-time off policy and some smart engineers

Cons

Talent isn’t appreciated in this company at all. It’s a very political place, with a lot of political power given to directors of groups. So if your director is good, you can get better salary, better bonuses and timely promotions. If your director isn’t good, good luck getting promoted even to senior engineer (btw promotion = 10k salary increase, which is way too small). If you are in remote site (not in SD that is), good luck with finding opportunities for career growth within the company. Utterly disgraceful management, with loads of VPs reporting each other, who do nothing valuable for growth of this company. Upper management doesn’t really care for even basic needs of engineers (like monumental pay increase, creating work-friendly environment). Review system is biased and managers don’t really care about third party opinions (why even take them, if you don’t care about them?) There are better companies out there. Avoid like plague.
