Pros

If you are a Yes Boss kind of guy, then this is the right place for you.

Cons

Yes Boss kind of culture in CSS Group Bangalore only. You can have growth only if you have Yes Boss attitude, fake and loud smile and some leave/fired whose position you can take, not because of your talent and caliber. All non technical guy has become manager because of Yes Boss culture. Their main job is to track when you come and leave, after home do you login or not? till what time of night, would you be online in IM for just in case someone from US may think of ping you? Few people types mail from office and send from home during late night time just to show that they worked till late night and are highly appreciated one. More focus on when you come and go, rather than work. Focus only on visibility not on work quality. Even worse than service industry. Lot of favoritism within the group, whoever butter up his/her manager only those will be promoted, chances to US visit. Earlier they used to hire from IIT/NIT, now only from respective manager's college. Only bug fixing work is being done from India, good work does not come to Bangalore at all as most of good technical people have already left. Company policy is there to do work from home. If someone is doing work from home because of some personal reason/medical reason, he/she will be asked for n reason and finally end of less hike/bonus whereas few of their favourite people are working from home since couple of years and enjoying good salary. On paper they claim about diverse culture and all. Recently few of women employee has been fired and harassed or in the list of firing list as after maternity leave their productivity may get impacted.

Pros

Salary, I was compensated very well, the I hated working there so much that I resigned without anything even lined up. It was a good move for my mental health.

Cons

The leadership in general are not very intelligent, disorganized, and uncommunicative. They were decades behind in certain areas that lead to massive inefficiencies and overwork. (Out of respect I will not be specific). I suggested an improvement that would have taken task time down from 8 hours to virtually real time, but the executive Team, in their arrogance, did not allow me to implement the system. Sometime later, the cumbersome, unreliable system was not working and a deadline approaching. I worked 20 hours per day for 7 days and built an entire real time reporting system - then resigned. No one at AMAT was ever helpful. It always seemed an inconvenience to give a colleague outside ones group the time of day. I gained absolutely ZERO new skills or professional development at AMAT all my time there. Many of the employees at the time, including senior management, felt free to publicly express invectives against the current POTUS in their suffering TDS. Another reason I could not work in the environment. Rules for thee and not for me.
