Pluspunten

* Have got the culture right. * Senior Management is top notch. Lots to learn from them. * Great insights into the corporate world. * Training program for new analysts is awesome.

Minpunten

* The work is boring. You are not going to make a great or even good technologist. * Mediocre people. (This varies throughout the firm though.) * Good people leave because the work is not rewarding enough, technically or professionally. * If you do stay for > 4 years, you can't leave coz you won't be good enough. 4 years of dreary work is too much. * Too much power with the manager. You have to keep him happy. In reality, the organization is not as flat as they say it is. * Compensation for 'Application Developers' is below industry standard. Again not good for you if you are the ambitious, impactful kind. * Too much importance on face-time (being present in the office in front of your managers) and ot so much on actual work done. (Again, this is technology division specific) * It's a good place for you only if you're in the service industry (Wipro, Infosys, TCS), looking for a settled job that pays decent. Not for the driven people.

Pluspunten

You’ll get to work with the latest technologies depending on the team you’re in and also have a decent work-life balance. They give you a good amount of vacation days and let you use them whenever you want. You get to work with people who are good and smart and barely hear of any bad people who make your life hard. Taking internal mobility to other teams would also be super easy out here and they encourage it.

Minpunten

The pay increases are very bad. As you get promoted and grow, your pay will only increase about 3-5% no matter how good your performance is and you’ll feel like you’re barely beating inflation if you’re lucky. Your pay will be massively under the market for your role. Not to mention, there’s a huge risk of layoffs and it happens twice a year. You’ll end up being a part of it if you’re working from home a lot or express your dissatisfaction with your pay (although they mostly brush it off as a performance or a budget/role issue). The risk you take from the layoffs is not worth the reward you get. If you’re taking this job and reading this review, just consider this job as a stone you can step on while looking for another job to switch to
