Pros

Some good people in the organization Good work/life balance If you like doing nothing for a while and need a mental break before finding a new job.

Cons

Where to start..... Bad leadership and lack of foresight from Wipro. In a nutshell, they don't give a hoot about Buildit. Terrible Wipro sales team, they only know how to sell cheap engineering bodies/ outsourcing. If you are a high performing engineer who keep up with the latest tech. Do not expect to use any of those skills. Terrible performance measure. It is all about utilisation. If you are billable for 3 months but bring in 3 hundred grands. You are deemed less successful than being billable for 9 months, making a 1000 bucks. People are constantly on bench as the sales team don't care about bringing any project to buildit. They give all the first dips to their buddies in India, and when it all goes to hell, they ask Buildit to help them out. Most of the clients are rooted in legacy system and monolith server, meaning that no serious digital transformation will ever take place in the next five years and Wipro love working with these guys. This means that Wipro as a business is completely unequipped to deal with the future. Once all their existing clients moved on to modern tech over the next 5, 10, 15 years. What will Wipro be left with? There is a reason why Cognizant and Accenture are growing all the time while Wipro share has stagnated and the CEO is stepping down. Of course, even if you are asked to help out with one of the project. You could be doing a fantastic job and the clients are in love with you. But guess what, Bam! the sales team and account manager kick you off the project and bring all their buddies back. If you like what you do whether that is FE, BE, DevOps, architect. My advice is to look elsewhere. If you have a job offer from them and reading this then don't take in unless you are flat broke and this is the only thing you are offered.

Pros

- This is a great way to get your foot in the door in a technology career. Wouldn't recommend staying for more than 1-2 years though. - A great way to develop your skills - IF you get on a project and IF you get the right guidance from sr team members. - You get to meet fantastic people: recent college grads that you will fit right in with, and some really cool clients. - There is training included, although it was pretty awful (see more in the "Cons" section). At least it helps as somewhat of a refresher on technical content. - Free coffee, occasionally food is provided, the office looks really cool.

Cons

- The pay is actually pretty low. You might not say that fresh out of college, but after 1-2 years many of us realized we're worth significantly more than that. You get this teeny tiny "raise" after a year that doesn't at all measure up to what you could get if you just found a new job instead. - It can be VERY challenging to get on a project. Almost makes you wonder why we keep hiring when it took so long for some of us to even start actually working. - Projects are poorly managed, leaving clients disappointed. In fact, some delivery managers hardly ever show up to the client site (and rarely do anything either way). - Wipro tries to do everything the "cheap way" - even if it means some of their employees are stuck working insane hours to make up for the others, who are terribly underskilled. - That being said, it seems like Jr team members are never getting the proper guidance and training they need because Wipro won't pay to put the proper amount of Sr members on projects to help them. - Issues with travel costs / relocation fees being reimbursed. This has happened to multiple people on multiple occasions. - HORRIBLE communication! Most of the management team is in India and makes very little attempt to understand the issues occurring in the U.S. - Many of the managers (namely overseas) also seem so detached from us that we're not viewed / treated fairly - basically, expected to move across the country for a project just to fill their pockets, worked like machines, disrespected for needing guidance when just starting out as a jr member, etc. - You'll be pitched on a training program upon joining...which was not very helpful at all. Be prepared to fight the anxieties over worrying if you'll pass some poorly-translated test that in no way fairly represents your skills. - They will pitch you on "not having to relocate", but somehow still seem to pressure people for turning down opportunities that require relocation. - This company sends a lot of useless emails. Might as well send 90% of the company's emails to the spam box.
