Pros

-Good facilities i.e. cafeteria, Transport, Infrastructure.

Cons

-India Management is mere spectator and would do nothing if someone from onshore is building case against you. -No formal training and high expectations with respect to deliverables. -Acute chaos when it comes to maintaining work life balance. -Management is clueless once a person is hired. As a result, hired talent gets wasted in petty office politics. -Onshore will crush you under petty excuses to prove that you are worthless. -Unrealistic feedback during appraisals. -HR department is the same story. They are just puppets in the hands of onshore team. -Onshore team will deliberately prove that you are a fool just to keep them relevant and safeguard their jobs. -Organization wants to transfer work to India, but US stakeholders will resort to cheap and dirty tricks to keep the work with them and save their jobs. This clearly shows that the top leadership has vision but no interest in achieving it. -They will offer you a package which you can not resist, but be ready to be fired within 6 months or less.

Pros

Good Starting Salary, Vacation, Medium Workload, and Retirement Benefits

Cons

I spent ten months with Wells Fargo. I spent six months doing work that was completely unrelated to my auditing job with the RCC team. I understood that this was due to COVID-19 and dealt with it. When I finally made it to my audit team I received very little guidance on what my job was, how to do it, and when tasks were due. Things were continuing to get worse as time went on and I felt that these factors were making doing the audit with a reasonable standard of competency impossible. I was told that other audit associates had different experiences on their teams but this was also told to me by the recruiter during what was effectively an exit interview. Training is very inconsistent in quality and depends largely on which audit team you are assigned. The work itself is fairly easy but it requires accessing multiple systems of record and these are not intuitive systems that you'll be able to find by guesswork. You'll need training on how to do all of this as well and that was largely the problem I ran into with my team. I felt like my degree in accounting and previous work experience in accounting were largely useless here. Ultimately I left because I felt that my lack of knowledge was negatively affecting my performance on the job and also my teams performance as they relied on my to do audit work and other work.

Pros

Benefits are above average and PTO is generous.

Cons

You will be micro managed no matter what the position. This is a company that is 5 years behind the industry and can't get out of its own way. This is not the company you can really get behind and feel like you have a purpose. You will have 3 managers telling you how to do your job that have never actually done your job. If you are talented look elsewhere if you need a paycheck its a job with good benefits and plenty of mangers repeating the corporate buzz words on endless skype calls. Very Orwellian culture.
