Employee can choose between hybrid and remote work culture Seniors are helpful Manager understand the issues faced by employee and take corrective measures Free food.
Benefits policies are there just on paper, its really hard to get those in real Working on little old technologies which other competitors have already implemented many years back Bonus and hike are almost same between an average and good working employee

Work life balance is great. Office culture is very good. Leadership is very supportive.
Incentives and promotions. Career Growth is somewhat slower compared to the industry.

all good
the only question is why I am impacted by the CI Team if others are also performing less compared to me and most importantly I never left my task pending but still they targeted me to the layoff list, take interviews of all CI candidates who is working in my level i can't take anyone names....

It is like a Govt Company with good work life balance and Job security. They provide good food, Gym and pickup and drop from Home.
Technical stack is too old and company has a lobby of old people who stayed in the company for last 10-15 Years. It is impossible to convince them for any new good idea. They only wants to hire and promote people of certain caste and region, using abusive language is common in work culture. Most of the work is anyway done from Canada office and India office work like a service company for Canada employee....Read More

The perks are nice but if you do not get a good manager or team is it the worst place to be.
No support from manager They want people to start performing asap. If someone is changing their role , there is no proper shadowing or guidance. It is that you are on your own

Upper Management is very egoistic and they don't promote skip level conversion.
Poor leadership, favouritism, no criteria defined for performance review and appraisals.
