Pros

Product company Work culture Leaves and time flexible

Cons

Micro-management to some extent. They even create a whatsapp group where you need to inform when you are starting to work, at what time n all...pay is less. Worst thing woodmac does is it hired me for java, interviewed me for java only...2 interview rounds taken and questions asked were of Java...i have 8+ YOE in java... And when i got hired, the tasks given to me are of DotNet. No java. And they justify this thing with the line "keep an open mind". Now this is the manager's thinking to keep open mind n all but they should not force everyone to have the same thinking or belief.. Now if am working on java for 8+ years, suddenly i work on dotnet for 1 year...the next company when i get interviewed in will ask me about the project and i'll need to start talking about dotnet while the job am applying to will be of Java...i'll start losing the jobs and fail in the interviews then. Not sure why they interviewed and hired an experienced java developer when they had the work only on DotNet. Messed up with my career. Now am again in the market left out to search for the jobs.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
