Pros

Team members are very good nature-wise & pay is also average to good.

Cons

Management practices leave a lot to be desired. Employee well-being does not appear to be a priority, and many company policies/values exist more in theory than in practice. The work environment often feels rigid ,scrum and office timings resemble a classroom more than a collaborative workplace. Your entry/exit time is monitored and has been pointed out to multiple employees. Scrum masters are usually there to create pressure on employees. There is a lot of micromanagement done. While the company claims good WFH policies, in reality, they are approval based and approvals are very tough. High developer attrition speaks volumes about underlying issues. Employees are expected to perform at their best with minimal support or guidance. Expectations are high, but mentorship and feedback are lacking. Interns, in particular, face unrealistic performance demands with little to no structured feedback, leading to just hire & fire. Additionally, a significant portion of the work (~50%) is client-facing, which may not suit everyone. It’s advisable to speak with current employees before joining to get a clearer picture. Favoritism among some managers also affects team dynamics, with clear preferences impacting opportunities and work assignments. Overall, consider these aspects carefully before making your decision to join.
