Pros

Perks are good, laptop facility is available, data card(dongle given to each employee), mobile bill waiver, location is very good. External Cafeteria facility is good.

Cons

Putting an bad image to the parent Vodafone company. No further career opportunities. Failed Indian Management. UK Management totally non-co-operative. All Tech-M and Amdocs non-sense crowd. No Shift allowance even though HR will promise you the same. Pathetic transport facilities. Worst in Pune. Big time politics. BPO like seating arrangement for IT technical people. Managers don't respect lady employees. Buttering is at it's best in here. Dumb management, people usually with fake qualifications were hired and are made to run company.

Pros

Absolutely nothing it's a circus in there and all the minions who brown nose will never amount to anything if they don't leave

Cons

During my time at Vodafone there was a very accurate review written by a former employee who had a less than pleasant experience in red EDGE after being there for at least 2 and half years. They gave their honest opinion about their experiences and what the witnessed during their time there. When it came to light that the review had been written the mamagement team went into panic mode and in an attempt to discredit the honest review called on some old reliable favourites to write contradicting reviews about how fantastic it is to work in red EDGE. About a year later another employee left and wrote another very damning yet very honest and accurate review only for it to be met with the same influx of orcastrated positive reviews by the big bosses and their minions. It's farsicle in that place I think anyone with even the slightest ounce of self respect for their career will avoid going to work there. I left last year and still keep in touch with some old colleagues and I've heard of an almost mass exodus of tenured staff because of how bad it is in there.

Pros

A big shiny employer brand to add to your CV.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. The usual bad corporate leadership, in spades, often profoundly dysfunctional in its approach and its internal relationships (eg. working with the local markets who actually, you know, do stuff). A genuinely weird 'business manager' and 'chief of staff' directors' offices org structure means each director has a 'business manager' to hide behind while the CEO has the same in the form of a rabid and heavily armed pitbull; it was the most comically awful thing I've seen in 1.5 decades of UK corporate life, but it does allow a bunch of very well paid white men to avoid dealing with actual human beings on a daily basis while they come up with new ways to avoid paying tax.
