Pros

-Great legacy -Wonderful work life balance -Flexible timings -Friendly managers -Good learning -Majority of projects are great -Hike is good. Atleast not bad.

Cons

-Pseudo government kind of company. If not much work, then you will become lazy if you don't put effort to learn on your own. Sometimes you get lot of free time. -Few projects doesn't have customers. -Few projects put so much mental pressure - managers give insignificant work just because you are employed -After acquiring Alcatel-Lucent, few projects are treated as step children. Some movement happened internally for employees between projects. Few are happy few are not . -With promotion you don't get extra salary for the new grade along with normal yearly hike.

Pros

Great co-workers and local management. Interesting work projects. Fully committed to AI-enabled software development.

Cons

Unwritten expectation for evenings and weekend additional work. Felt like upper management viewed us as costs, instead of people.
