Pros

- Hands down experience of working in a huge setup - Lot of learning and travel opportunities

Cons

- Bureaucratic in each and every aspect. From promotions to even getting a gate pass - Senior management is clueless, un approachable and all they do is satisfy their massive egos. - HR being the weakest link. They hardly would come out and support you incase you need any help. - No check on promotions, same set of people get two promotions in four years, whereas there is no promotion in the team.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
