Reviews Summary
Employees appreciate the company for its large organizational structure, flexible work hours without strict in/out time constraints, and a good work-life balance. They highlight the positive work culture, opportunities for direct interaction with senior-level employees, and excellent learning programs like the Extreme Blue program. Benefits such as flexible timings, work-from-home options (for those provided with laptops), and comprehensive perks backed by a solid Fortune 50 company are also valued.
On the downside, many employees express concerns about low salary increments, citing raises of less than 2% even for top performers unless they receive a band promotion. Management issues are a recurring theme, with mentions of poor management practices and difficulty in obtaining promotions without a supportive and influential manager. Additionally, some feel that the pay is low with little hope for improvement despite hard work and delivering results. Limited salary hikes, lack of on-site opportunities, and challenges in securing visas for travel are also noted as drawbacks.
