Work support is only limited to Bangalore location, very stringent on work from outside Bangalore. They Don’t even provide laptop if you want to work outside Bangalore in your native place. Only good part is that they’re not laying off.

Dislikes

Fresher salary’s 20% component was signing bonus. 2 years later gone and not compensated. I’m essentially earning less than what I was 1 yr ago. Extreme security measures, your personal device(iPad, laptop, kindle, etc.), not mobile phone, if brought in company by mistake shall be formatted.

Some benefits like Diwali discount on smartphones, free breakfast/lunch, free transport, sponsored education, occasional amazon coupons,

Dislikes

...ndemic. Very Few perks when compared to top tech companies. No growth by skills. Huge compensation parity with IIT and NonIIT in the same level. Zero Normalization. Credits stolen by Incompetent Managers. Top heavy organization (surplus managers-few engineers) Politics at its best. Monarchy is followed. Software Engineering team (testing&devops) works like clerical support to development. No transparency in policy.

Likes

Transport : (But the Team leader ensure that you come at 8:15AM using office bus and leave late after 12 Working hours. Cabs are provide to those employes only who have worked for 11hrs in office on that day.) Food: (But now It's quantity/quality decreases due to low budget) Other Things are worst here.

Dislikes

...salary to IIT college as compare to NIT or IIIT or others for same wok and post. Salary hike is only 5-6%. Overall salary is less than the industry level(Donot see the CTC). Also behave in good manager with iitians as compare to others. ------- 6. Firing: They fire 10-20% employess every year and threat other if they do not support for 12hrs in offce. Recently they fires 20% employess through mass firing. Hence, no job security. ------ Still if you to join unmanaged company for money and make your life hell, Then, It's your choose.
