Pros

Start salary more than industry average, RSUs, Gifts,

Cons

The list of cons is long. Read on - 1. The India MD lack’s true leadership qualities. He has introduced an internal hierarchy involving multiple unnecessary levels (almost 16 levels between an analyst and manager role). There is no explanation or documented policy about what are the requirements for each level. On being questioned about the new hierarchy, employees are told by the MD to leave the organisation and move on. 2. An employee will easily realise after completing 2-3 years with the Company that their growth is stunned because of the extensive hierarchy. People having professional degrees are also expected to go through these levels. 3. The India FSSC does not have a clear and transparent process for appraisals and promotions. People who are good at buttering the MD and the team leaders are the only ones who benefit out of this process. 4. No encouragement or support for learning or taking additional professional courses.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
