Brand name is kind of only plus thing. Insurance coverage is good. Hybrid and remote models.

Dislikes

PP is on cost cutting spree. And there were very less benefits to begin with it is becoming like any other it company. Too many levels and freq change in leadership in recent times. Cross team collaboration is not so good. If your team and manager are good then PP is good. it's hard to summarize because I have seen employee experience from going good to very bad.

Good compensation and benefits

Dislikes

Company culture is very toxic, leadership only believes in politics and doesn’t care about the individual’s growth, no support for someone’s career aspirations, frequent re-orgs and layoffs, no appreciation of good work, no promotion for India employees.

You just have to do a very small part that lets you learn very less and it becomes stale. Learning can be done as courses but in experience it's less. That helps in WLB though. It's good.
