Pros

Few things that are worth mentioning are moderate pay, equals the market. HR teams conducts events, gatherings pretty often. Office is in the centre of the city.

Cons

Brace yourself, there are plenty of cons. 1. Not so good pay package. 2. Hikes are too less. 3. Bonus is not reasonable. 4. Too much of politics. 5. HR teams just listen to what superior tells about you, generally personal problems with you. 6. Mark your attendance every day. Otherwise, deal with managers in person or loss of pay even though you are in office, they still feel IT techies are in school. 7. No parking space. 8. No cafeteria. 9. No work life Balance. 10. HR expects you to be in office by 9, but your teams wants you to be till 11:30pm in the night. Both of the expectations has to be met and if not, your appraisals goes for a toss. These silly points are considered for reasoning you when you ask them for your rating or bonus. Ridiculous and stupidity. 11. Managers and HR expect you to be in office for minimum 9 hours even after completing work. 12. No Work From Home option. 13. Attending late night meetings from home also is not entertained. 14. No food available after 7pm in the surroundings. You either pack your food for dinner or order online. 15. Get ready to pay police fines for your vehicles being towed away. You have to park your vehicle on the road. Very limited parking space and company doesn’t even care about security of vehicles. 16. Car Parking’s are one more bizarre. Cars are parked too close to each other, many at times drivers handle your cars too harshly and end up getting scratches. Especially in Bangalore Divyasree chambers office. 17. Managers are stagnant in this company from decades. These people don’t have any knowledge about the IT industry. Managers doesn’t know and don’t encourage conferences, exploring technologies or new initiatives are completely discouraged. 18. Attending training’s aren’t encouraged. 19. People work on AWS but no one knows even basics of the AWS, they just write code from google or stacktrace. 20. Process and standards are too outdated. 21. No planning, no foresight. We will be asked to work on weekends, late nights, on public holidays. And no overtime is paid, or no allowance. If you feel your career is precious to you, this company is not for you. Otherwise if you just want to pass time with absolutely no learning, you can think about it.
