Great work life balance and team culture with lots of benefits. Good exposure to lot of different technologies.

  • Job security - Excellent

Dislikes

Hikes are very minimal and non existent sometimes. Average salary is below the industry standard in product based companies. Lot of higher level management politics and frequent reorgs with directional changes. Not a company for people expecting high quality work and competitive pay.

Good HR

Dislikes

...'t let you start something new even though they promote trying new technologies. There's no fair compensation. No hikes or promotions. You're expected to slog day and night to be considered a valuable employee. Otherwise, you're sidelined and accused of not being part of the team.

  • Salary - Good

Dislikes

1. No work at all, so no learning. 2. Company is not software company, so if you are into hardware, networking and security, that's good. But if you are into cloud, software, IaaS please avoid this company, it can screw up your overall technical expertise. Since they don't have any software related work. 3. Leadership will never settle down here as a result of which you will experience org changes thrice in a year. And you will be moved to different orgs with no technical benefit at all. My suggestion: Get the offer and never join it.
