Pros

Good work environment. Higher management is very approachable and understanding. Plenty of opportunities for working in different countries, even for new employees. You get a premium account with the HSBC bank which is really nice. Very good training programs for employees, some them are really advanced. Office space is excellent, loved the events and parties.

Cons

Employees using niche technologies have extremely monotonous work and less scope of advancement. Lower management is prone to taking bad decision. Commuting options are bad, especially for employees working odd shifts. Too many processes to follow to the point you spend more time following processes than doing your work. Many of them are practically useless.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
