Pros

Free food, drinks, snacks. Yearly offsites. Opporutinites to travel outside India.

Cons

Highly Politicial. Favroitism. People with average technical skills are promoted because of their licking skills. Top management in tech thinks that developers should somehow showcase their talents by talking and prove them (to top management) that they are best. There is a constant need (created from top) to prove yourself. Top do not understand that people have proved that is why they are here. Also top has to prove himself that he is a capable leader. Proving yourself is a two-way game. Otherswise top would get boot lickers only. Top also thinks he is capable of firing people. Thera are few instances in which senior tech members were fired because of attitude/expectations mismatch betweem top and those senior tech guys. Top takes decisions which have no basis, and are not transparent. There is new term coined here, which is become visible. Which basically means, you have to goto to CTO in the morning, stand near his chair, and speak blah blah blah. Or if some production issue happens, dont solve it but stand up and again blah blah blah. Top management is not able to evaluate the quality of work. Top mangement in tech is micromanaging the developers in terms of the number of hours they warm the chair, or cups of tea they have in a day. Tech team has become sought of India Saas Bahu Serials, lots of dramas, nothing concrete. HR team takes decision which are not open.
