Pros

Free Lunch, Outside activities every quarter. The management is open to the feedback.

Cons

No relocation assistance. Pay is very less compared to the peers. Cannot take leave in probation even if you are sick. Timings are very strict (in and out). Projects are very old, No one is prepared to innovate. You will be stuck in the same project for very long without the growth of your career.

Pros

Not much except for the new look of the office and free food

Cons

Highly political and too much of micromanagement company, there is no recognition for the hard workers and HR has got no powers they just follow the orders from C level leaders. Hikes and promotions is based only on your relationship with Managers. Most of the people are frustrated. stocks are not paid to all , neither the HR/finance ppl has no control or answer they all talk good English but not helping employees. culture of this company is pathetic , employees are forced to attend series of unwanted meetings/ tech talks .
