Pros

1. Competitive salary package if negotiated well if hiring takes place in the last quarter of the year ( Oct to Dec). 2. Ample time to pursue personal hobbies during office hours. 3. Office timings are flexible since there is no deliverables as such. 4. If one is good at backstabbing and spineless, excellent place to grow without any skills.

Cons

1. The headcount increase is driven by a legal India government requirement so there was no plan nor intention to get work to India location. 2. Regional politics by managers is more since the hiring is influenced heavily from the start in order to bring their own people from previous companies so chances of a fair opportunity to prove oneself is very less. 3. Managerial competence is near zero since many of the hired managers were let go from their previous organizations. There are few good managers but that is lost in the overall incompetence of the crowd. These let go managers focus to save their job and nepotism is widespread if you are also from specific place.

Pros

Good, friendly people, that’s about it I’m afraid.

Cons

Depends on which team you are in and which business unit. The US side of the business is totally different. I have found the culture in the UK to be one of fear of loosing your job, 3 rounds of redundancy in the past 12 months. Lack of direction from the leadership team, who appear in experienced in growing a business and how to prevent further redundancies. Everything is driven by cost and not what is always right for the customers. Constantly feel like you are under the microscope in terms of time keeping and what you are working on, (depends on which team you are in) and not although working from home is possible it’s frowned upon by the old guard. Often giving you mundane tasks to do as they react to request from another manager rather than challenge and understand the value. Don’t often listen to the experience, qualification and knowledge of the work force, they think they have the answers. Leadership ask for openness and honesty but if you raise anything you are shot down and they don’t like to hear it. Leadership team need to lead by example.

Pros

Salary was above average as was bonus package and 401k and medical benefits.

Cons

Often abusive middle and upper management. First line were generally good people and competent. Company lacks vision and inspiration. Work, life balance often sacrificed for stupid reasons, nothing to do with creating product everything to do with Exec management ego. Career opportunities for young people, a good place to start but not to finish.
