Pros

Compensation is good Tax benefits are good Chilled out life Stocks options were attractive but currently they are worthless

Cons

Job security Lack of clarity No challenging work Most of the engineering organizations hire for a broader engineering skills (DS, Algo, pgmg, problem solving, etc) and this is the only place where they hire for specific technologies (Ruby, java, postgre, etc). The current engineering leadership is good at sweet talks while hiring and making use of the resources but once they see there is no need of your skill sets they turn arrogant so that you quit your job. One of the worst recruiting team ever who gives all sorts of stories to trap you to join and later they involve in discussions sharing the bad behavior leadership to the employees after joining. The best of the engineers and leaders who have joined from premier ecommerce organizations have left now since there no good work in India and it keeps on changing. The management are like puppet always dancing for the wrong tunes and employees get bored after some time listening to the cooked up stories around the road-map and growth of the India engineering team.

Pros

- Flexible Allowance is a big pro, can help save tax

Cons

- Micro or Nano level management - Little to no focus on actual work, all the times have to update jira, with deadlines, due dates, story points, why skipped the due date. - They will decide the due date themselves. - Have to work 8-10 hours on weekends. - No appraisals or bonuses.

Pros

Not any pros. if I could give a negative rating I would have done that.

Cons

I was part of EDW support team for 3 months in Bangalore office.Worst HR in the entire Universe. Lots and lots of politics . They will throw you out saying the name of company policy without having any fault of yours. The team in which I was placed , the team members of that team never ever explained me anything properly .One of them was extreme rude to me. He had said many things to me many times which I can not write here.I tolerated all this because I needed that job very badly. I even informed manager once about all this but he did not agree. One day I caught few of my own team members making fun of me, I emailed manager copying HR head in cc thinking that HR would take action against those employees.But I was wrong. The employees who were making fun of me , they were not even touched.Not a single word is told to them and everything was put on my performance and I was fired giving the name of company policy. I was the one who should have got benefit of doubt instead I was fired saying that I did not perform. I gave HR many options like my probation period can be extended to six months,then they can see if there is any problem with performance or the matter is something else . I also gave the option of changing my team, because my own team members were completely against me. Both of the options were complete feasible. HR and one of my team member had already in their mind that they will not allow me to continue in that company. I was asked to sign on my own resignation paper in the name of co-operation. I thought as per company policy , I would get at least 45 working days , so that I can search another job in those 45 working days.But they told instead of that we will pay you that money. I did not need that money. I need my job which I rightfully deserve.
