Pros
1. Free AC cabs. 2. No work in QA. 3. TT, Carrom and Chess for recreation - 5pm to 6pm. 4. No variable pay. Initial compensation is good.
Cons
1. No onsite opportunities. Honestly, the on-site opportunities here are zero. There are a few developers who get once in a life time opportunity to travel to Atlanta - for 10 days. 2. Hygiene level is equivalent to that of a local railway station. Cafeteria stinks, the toilets are in very bad condition. The office carpets and desks are cleaned one in 2 weeks or so. 3.Food quality is pathetic. There is one North Indian and one South Indian vendor, both don't offer varieties. There is a juice counter which is worse than the lunch vendors. Omelettes prepared 2 days back are served along with the sandwiches. 4. Gives you a back to school feeling. You cannot raise your voice if u feel anything around you is wrong. The Dev managers are dictators and most of the QA managers are trying to be like him apart from a few. You cannot play TT or other recreation games before 5 p.m. 5. No work life balance for Dev. You are on call 24x7. 6. Hikes are delayed without any prior intimation. 7. The leave policies are integrated with VMWare's policy. Still the managers don't allow you to take leaves. 8. No work from home policy. 9. Regional language is used for communication within the office. People from other states - Beware ! 10. There is no work in QA, still they are hiring people like sheep and cattle. 11. In house WiFi goes down frequently. This gives you a govt. bank like feeling, and creates a very good impression among the onshore team who are convinced that we are a backward country. 12. No room for innovation. 13. I have heard there is an HR team somewhere inside a secret room. But unfortunately, I haven't met them so far. Strange.
