Pros

There is incredible work life balance -but this puts you in a comfort zone lots of time for preparation for entrance exams - i got loads of time for my gmat prep the ceo bhavin is very smart - though the rest of his top management's abilities are questionable the directi brand is generally very good some very smart ppl, but i see many of them leaving very quickly

Cons

The worst form of politics imaginable. At times, it feels like game of thrones was inspired by flock. unimaginable infighting amongst teams, and a product leadership team which has an ego as if they built google, while actually struggling to even copy a product successfully. There are very senior leaders who don't have the basic understanding of how to run a business - but are involved in everything because of their closeness with the ceo bhavin. Valid metrics and logical reasoning don't matter over here, and decisions will be made or overturned at the drop of a hat - and with the flimsiest of reasons. bhavin is a one man army - and barring his best friend, few managers have any say. not to say, that the managers are any good - this company has the worst middle management - which when they are not busy fighting among themselves, are screwing up things for the folks like us way down the food chain. very less value for mbas like us, who are not from premier mba colleges

Pros

The company culture is great in general

Cons

This team/department is the most very crap one I have seen along with that the micro-manage things just to pick out mistakes of a person and then tag them on a channel in front of everyone. These people play games internally on channels and then they promote people based on favorites instead of comparing their performance. Also they hire people who don't fit the position correctly and after that, they do not give proper training before that person is made live. Further they have this useless gamification dashboard where even if you perform bad or average based and if you're favorite of the manager or head you would be praised or raised or promoted to Senior or Lead. However, rest would get a big speech on how to improve yourself. Plus they have insanely short SLA (which is not even required) and try to force everyone to adhere to it. Even Microsoft or Google might not be having such SLA's on their side. No one can move away from the screen for a min as everyone is always under a lot of pressure on missing SLA's and getting a rant from them! Example: 60 secs SLA to respond to chats, I mean why exactly? Further managers/head don't maintain the count of people properly and don't hire as much workforce that is needed. Basically, no proper planning is done ever.
