Pros

Great variety of roles. If you negotiate hard, basic pay and bonus is good. The general 'Sunshine' nature of the Indian culture permeates through most of the organisation and can be a real pleasure to work in.

Cons

There is no 'Human' in the company HR culture - just Resource. The organisation appears to be run by the back-office function (in particular HR) which has created a 'cardboard cut-out' version of company culture and values to enable it to position itself alongside companies from developed economies. In doing so, the company presents a veneer of developed economy respectability which has been added to tick boxes concerning integrity, fair play and overall honesty in its dealings. Alongside these concerns, the cultural structure and accompanying nepotism means that only a very small number of people have decision making capability. The rest will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid being made to carry an 'R' or 'A' from the RACI matrix. Essentially, this culture is one that means you cannot trust most people to stand up and take ownership when things get difficult or look bad. The back office function is appalling by developed economy standards. You will rarely get anything achieved in a straightforward manner, despite the vast number of highly diverse and complex internal support systems. Again, there is nothing 'Human' in the treatment of employees from the perspective of individual support. If you can cope with doing everything yourself, including following up on even small things multiple times to get anything done, this is the company for you.

Pros

Positive and supporting work culture where employees feel valued and respected. Team environment is very friendly and colleagues are always willing to help each other, which creates a collaborative atmosphere.

Cons

I would not 100% consider it as cons as its common thru most MNC's. But opportunities for fast career progression can vary depending on the project or team.

Pros

There are no pros to working for Wipro.

Cons

This company is a sh** show. There are too many managers and less and less people to do the actual work. They have people that negotiate contracts and then expect the company to make money. In reality, most of the time the contract is basically giving the house away. It is the employees that suffer. When the contracts go south, they cut more people. Those people are then screwed over. Be warned!! If your position ends on the 25th of the month, your health insurance also ends on the 25th of the month. Note that the premium you paid, is not pro-rated, justifying the end of coverage on the 25th. You still pay the usual premium, which should then have your coverage run through the end of the month. If they can destroy a person, they will. They want more and more and more from their employees. While they preach all this mental health, work life balance, it's a sham. They have no regard for the well being of the employee, which carries over to the employee's family.
