Just get a couple of years with this company on your resume....and LEAVE! Cash in on the brand name.
Pros: - Free soft drinks / biscuits / tea / coffee
- Good work-life balance
- No real limit on printer use. I have seen people printing out textbooks. so yeah.
- Bi-annual company functions (which used to happen yearly by the way) are good. Credit where its due.
- If you are lucky, you get WFH option. Depends on your manager really.
- Work pressure is manageable. Not too stressful. Again, this depends on what kind of a manager you report to.
Cons: - Horrible cafeterias with the worst possible food
- No professional growth (promotions? forget about it!)
- No salary hikes. Bonuses, you ask? What's that?
- Some of the most unethical and incompetent managers i have ever seen in my professional career. Don't let the brand name fool you. This is a company built by acquiring other companies ever since it's birth. They've retained a lot of the garbage along with those acquisitions.
- Bureaucracy (It's not what you know, it's who you know. You could be a top-performer but still rot in this company if you aren't sucking up to the manager and his cronies.)
- HR is non-existent.
