Joined the company looking forward to working with a product company, and below is my feedback after spending few years.
Pros:
To learn Agile framework which is created that can be used for agile project management. But not all projects may use it though.
Work from home facility as part of policy, although subject to management and client approval.
Flexibility, although this is now negated as the Noida office is very far from city.
Cons:
Lack of clarity from management on business leads, managing future resource projections.
Lack of effective, trustworthy communication from management on harsh decisions.
Lack of matured principled behavior in following their core values - transparency, openness in dealings.
Lack of respect, and stability for employees(even long serving).
Lack of opportunities to learn and get mentored, an no effective training calendar/plan.
Lack of a common culture within the various bought over companies, and various regions of company. Every region and each Business Unit follows their own way of managing things.
Body shopping at times in the name of product development.
Lack of stability of top management - saw exits of HR head, Resourcing head, Unit head, Delivery head within a year.
While deciding to join I did get feedback that firing is rampant and mismanaged at times. I saw it myself happening with huge # of freshers(approx 60+) in 3 months after they were employed, experienced folks, with employees on projects(in the name of closing complete center at Pune).
