Pros
- Free food. - Well stocked Pantry. That sums up the benefits/pros.
Cons
- Hazing ritual for new hires, especially in the emerging customer group business support teams. Curb the humiliating tactics used to haze the new hires. Many have complained to HR, but it was buried as always. - Politics, Politics and more Politics. - Sexual Harassment, Sexual Harassment and more Sexual Harassment - the internal committee's setup to investigate make a mockery out of it. Most of the lead generation/marketing teams are filled with freshers who are taken to bed and then exploited over long periods under threat of termination due to lack of performance with respect to numbers. Its an open secret. - The Bangalore office is run by a dozen clique's. If you can spend on booze, free dinners and have a penchant for a stinky brown nose, you're able to get into any one of them and your career in the company is set for life. If you're not, then be ready to let go of any dignity, self-respect and decency, along with any ambitions for growth at the time of this realization. - Whistleblowers are threatened with sexual harassment cases, termination and other dire consequences by managers. HR Team is incompetent and useless. All they do is pay and buy up awards like "Best Employer/Best Places to Work For". - Despite the fact that the Bangalore office is one of the largest outside of the US, this office is a cess pool. It is filled with folks who misuse/abuse their managerial powers to intimidate/threaten employees in their team. These folks have no qualifications to speak of and mostly come from BPO backgrounds. They stick on here for they know they cannot survive outside. Frogs in a Pond. -I was here for 4 years and could not find even a handful of sincere and approachable managerial/director level execs who I would want to work with/for. Save for one or two, all of them are crooks. - Do not even think of joining any of the nigh-shift teams. You will experience all of the above and worse.
