      Pros

      - Travel opportunities that are mentioned in your offer letter and the ones that follow. - Fresh fruits every day - BAM - Overhyped but worth experiencing once!

      Cons

      The MIDDLE MANAGEMENT rules this place! All the things you have heard about your boss being right always, this company BREATHES the mantra! You do not matter. They try an sell an image that says otherwise but it is a clever disguise. Had a bad week cause of your inexperienced manager? Let us take you out for Freaky Friday. Too stressed cause of your blood being sucked by your manager? - here are some fresh fruits to make you forget it. Your career isn't your own - it is a plaything for your manager! He will decide who you talk to, how much will you travel, when will you go home, what time do you need to reach office! They have an exercise wherein you get the chance to rate your manager - like a reverse feedback - another sham to maintain the image! The manager walks right on it and the senior management doesn't care one bit! All of the above is cause they don't really need the employees - they have automated their processes. So, again, you don't matter!

      Not so good, lot of bureaucracy and flat organisation structure

      Pros

      - Comfortable work hours - Company events, engagement activities

      Cons

      - No opportunities for growth - flat organisation structure, growth is strongly dependent on your manager and local LT, no set timelines or criteria for promotions lot of it is based on favoritism within teams and managers. People have been at same position for 6-8 years straight from the time of joining - Low pay, Compensation is skewed at each career level, huge gap in market bechmark v/s internal compensation scale. - Company boasts on taking care of employee feedbacks, people development etc, but no promotion is done internally to boost and develop learning or career development

      Pros

      1)Make sure booking has better rates, at-least on par with the competitors. You will have a good run. 2) Plan a stupid project and attribute the ‘rate parity’s’ success to your project and go gaga over it on the workplace. 3) You never have to extend your work hours. 4) Free food and free fruits. 5) Travel(although training is localised now) you still get to travel to markets. 6) Fulfil the expectations that were set at the beginning of the quarter. Have examples for every pillar of rating. 7) People are helpful as that is one of the ratings parameter. Make use of it coz they are not doing it for free.

      Cons

      1) They pay less. 2) Some of them have been working for ages and are determined to retire here. 2) Don’t expect a Cosmo crowd. Average age is mid 30s, average mentality is mid 70s. 3) One half of the rating parameters apart from performance is ‘behaviour’ and nobody knows what that is. 4) The global culture is a facade. 5) Gossipmongers specially interested in each other’s personal lives. (Average mentality and less salary). 6) Slow growth. You have to wait for somebody to quit. 7) Beware of an employee who is based out of Bangalore but shuttles between offices. The person is too loud and speaks bad English.
