Not many cons observed in my personal experience

The company has seen a noticeable decline in work culture, employee morale, and management decisions since around last year. While the organization earlier had a good reputation for learning opportunities, employee retention, and career growth, many employees now feel that important concerns are not being properly addressed. Employees are frequently moved between projects without proper planning, often creating confusion about roles, responsibilities, and long-term career direction. In many cases, it appears management itself is uncertain about where employees should be allocated, reflecting poor workforce and project planning. Layoffs and PIP-related exits have also become increasingly common, especially for employees on the bench. Even employees with good performance records and ratings have faced such situations, while management often shifts the blame entirely onto employees by claiming performance is “not good enough” instead of acknowledging planning and management failures. Another growing concern is the repeated extension of probation periods for new employees even after completing six months, creating uncertainty and job insecurity instead of providing clarity and stability. Appraisals, salary hikes, promotions, and designation growth frequently feel inconsistent and not fully merit-based, with favoritism and office politics affecting opportunities and recognition. Although the company publicly promotes rapid growth, AI initiatives, and flexible work culture, the actual employee experience often feels very different. Many teams face high work pressure, frequent weekend work, communication gaps, lack of transparency, and limited support during critical project phases. In some cases, workload is unevenly distributed, with a single QA expected to handle responsibilities equivalent to multiple resources after attrition, which further increases stress and impacts delivery quality and work-life balance. The so-called flexibility is not equally experienced across teams, and many employees feel their concerns are dismissed instead of being openly acknowledged and resolved. Despite introducing new departments and leadership roles, administrative interference and internal politics continue to negatively impact morale and workplace culture. Many employees believe the company should focus more on employee welfare, transparent communication, fair appraisal systems, and proper workforce planning instead of treating genuine criticism as misinformation or negativity.
