Pros

Pay is ok, though now there are other financial institutions giving higher pay.

Cons

- Zero work life balance. People work on weekends normally. - US counterparts have no consideration of India time. Meeting are scheduled at 10:30 PM in night on Fridays. Do not remember seeing a evening sun on a weekday. - Lot of old insecure people, unwill to share there knowledge. Goes to the extend of miss guiding. You will realise this place making u a toxic person yourself, run far while u still can.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
