Pros

Great people and excellent benefits. Job security and stability is solid. Amazing products and company track record. Sense of pride and confidence in product offerings. Global footprint with strong support for internal mobility.

Cons

Organization culture is fractured resulting in silo effect from one department to the next. Company is not transparent and offers limited insight across departments. Feedback to management is rarely acknowledged and action on feedback is rarely implemented or supported. Conservative nature limits flexibility in the market and inhibits growth. Innovation and leadership potential of middle Managment is not supported. Compensation structure is short sighted and compensation increases are rarely given (not even cost of living adjustments). Commissions and incentives do not support or encourage growth because departments are incentivized in contradictory ways. Basic business and sales metrics are not in place or not enforced resulting in limited capacity to understand and improve key performer indicators.

Pros

Nothing much... They have began to run it like a grocery shop. Not fit to be called an MNC. A big AVOID..!!!

Cons

Demotions in the company. Layoffs across board In midst of turmoil, suprisingly pa/ ps of ArB's getting promoted and given responsibilities out of league. Cost cutting... penny wise pound foolish types. Employee forced to take multiple job responsibilities even when they arent fit for the job eventually leading to forced resignation No proper HR to adhere to grievances and everytime you have to visit ArB you have to go through De*** who btw has started to throw weight around... God help the ones in co.
