Good work-life balance but lack of career growth opportunity...
Pros: 1. Good Work-life balance. The organization culture promotes "trust" among employers and employees. These are much better compared to any peer Indian IT Service organizations.

2. Excellent learning culture. The organization provides and promotes (including financial support) for learning and growth (including external learnings) for individuals. There are many facilities to upskill and upgrade. Any proactive individual can easily utilize these opportunities to upgrade him/herself. (Most of the cases - organization assistances are no strings attached like 'approval only when a customer wants' which is stickily followed by many other Indian IT Service Organizations)

3. Promotes diversity in a big way. This organization is very good for woman employees as many of its policies and approach are favorable to them. 

4. This is an organization where people stay longer. (specially for those who love to be in a comfort zone)
Cons: 1. Lack of Growth for an individual career. Management does not promote a growth mindset. The compensation and yearly hikes are much lesser compared to the market standard. The management encourages mediocrity. This results in a lack of innovation and agility. (though the organization claims otherwise in 'talks')

2. Top heavy organization and incompetent management. Processes are highly bureaucratic, slow, and complex. Too many hierarchies. Everyone seems to be highly insecure and lacks the courage and conviction to make the right decision on the top. CxO level strategy changes too frequently.

3. Most pathetic medical insurance for Indian employees especially if anyone has aged-dependent parents to take care of. (compared to medical insurance provided by other Indian employers)
