Pros

I worked here as a full time software developer for almost 5 years. It was good experience, following are the pros: --1) Company provides good benefits like daily food allowance, free transport, health insurance etc. --2) WFH was not allowed in general (as per office policy), but there were lenient teams which allowed the team-members to do WFH. --3) As a software developer I enjoyed flexible working hours, no micro-management. --4) There was not much of learning in the first half of my stint in the company, but in the second half learned a lot of new technologies. --5) Was hired with a handsome pay package. --6) Good place to learn about investment domain. That will help you if you want to grow in BFSI companies.

Cons

--1) It is a gigantic and slow moving company. They don't adapt cutting edge technologies rapidly. Hence, there was not much of learning in the first half of my stint in the company. --2) They will pay you very good package while hiring you, but after that yearly increment and promotion policies are not that attractive. --3) Moving to new project is not easy. --4) Not much of traveling opportunity. --5) Year-end bonus is much less than its competitors.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
