Pros

Good brand name, exposure to global stakeholders, strong learning opportunities if you are proactive.

Cons

Serious gaps in HR and compensation processes, especially during internal transfers. In my experience, an approved internal transfer was not correctly updated in the HR system for an extended period, which resulted in incorrect salary processing, reduced variable pay eligibility, and merit increment being applied on the wrong base. These issues came to light much later, despite consistent performance and long working hours. Compensation decisions were taken without involving or informing the employee, leading to both financial and trust impact.

Pros

Flexible hours for work life balance if you have the right manager.

Cons

The merit review process is deeply flawed. If your manager is based outside the US, expect little to no meaningful raise, and HR provides no oversight or accountability to fix it. Speaking of HR, don’t count on them to resolve workplace issues; there are virtually no checks and balances in place. Gender diversity is a serious concern, with women making up less than 35% of the company and even fewer in leadership. Sexist comments go largely unaddressed. Decision-making at every level moves at a glacial pace, creating constant bottlenecks that make it hard to get anything done. Leadership frequently makes promises to employees that never materialize, which has taken a significant toll on morale and trust over time.
