Pros

Salary at the beginning, food, snacks, cabs, work life balance (debatable) They actually provide all this to lure candidates n hire ppl bec they are aware of their incapabilities.

Cons

1. Salary not per market standards (as in they might provide higher salaries), they don't promote talent n provide right designations to them, which can make an imbalance between package n designations making a person non hirable or difficult to hire in the market. 2. Work life balance- you will see many comments with work life balance but be careful there is a diff between work life balance n no or less work. 3. Management is the major issue, they lack serious vision to take this company forward. It is a small company with almost no good leadership. 4. Old managers who are with the company are highly dependent on politics. They are excessively highly paid and cant be hired outside hence they dont promote right ppl infact they cannot. Max managers are not at all technically sound. I am shocked at max managers technical skills, being an IT company it is hilarious as well as ridiculous. This runs in most of the depts both IT and non IT dept. 5. Company lacks brand value- Nobody in the market knows bold, so after few years you may realise you are at not so good designation with very average knowledge. There is no major value addition apart from may be package. If you are in biggies like HCL etc then blv me you are better of there itself.

Pros

Facilities. Thats it, they will provide you some good facilities to work there. Cab,good assets, Gym vouchers, Food, good pay. Some Team members helping you a lot.

Cons

If you ok to just go to any organization that provide you good facility you can join there. But other then that nothing else I can promise you. What i feel in very short spell that its totally depends upon team you join. Pls pls check before joining in which team you going to work. They will not disclose before you join bt pls ask before joining otherwise it will be hell for you. I think most of the teams are good dont ever think to join the backend team(API) or there core payment team. Equally nightmare for Tester and developers. Manager is checking small small things. If you join for 15-20 mins late they will tell like "make sure you join on time otherwise your performance bonus will be effected". Long and repetitive KT and Reverse KT session.(Trust me this is another headache). Politics is on peak.(MANAGER,DIRECTOR,SENIOR everyone involved here) I saw people left the company with in a year and returning lakhs of bonus amount(if you left before year you have to return around 20% of total CTC). Pressure is too much (specific for API backend and core payment team). going to 5 days work from office. Avg office infra. I left in weeks so you can imagine the real life there.
