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.

Likes

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.

The kind of work is decent. You will have the option to work on multiple technologies. so the learning is good. Depends on team though.

Dislikes

...gs like, "I don't care why you're blocked, get it resolved", were pretty common. They pay 1/4th of a full time employee but say things like, you're working as a SDE 1, so show the skills. Terrible experience.

Likes

mainly work life balance and salary. Initially company provided many good benefits for employees but later some cheap employees doing cheap tricks then company started cost cutting. Otherwise, a very good organization. Only one bad thing is lay off's - not sure when they announce lay off

Dislikes

except lay off news, rest everything is good.

Likes

Dislikes

Too much reorg which is creating fear of job security. Biased promotion cycles across teams, few teams has very poor budget for promotion.
