Pros

I have been working in this company for 4 years now. I know how this company works from my 4 years of tenure because the management structure is not very long. It starts with an engineer under me --> me, the lead --> My manager --> Divisional Head --> CEO. This is a shared services company of Allianz. Allianz is not yet confident enough to give all of it's projects to AMOS. So, less projects. Most of the projects are 'operations' kind of tasks, either L1 or L2 or both. Only few projects with L3 support involved. An example is - there is an application and a tool is monitoring it. Now, the operations team monitors this tool :. Very less workload in my opinion. Best company to work for if you are just married. No head aches related to work and you can dedicate all your time for family. One thing I like is there is a fixed/clear appraisal processes (No room for high expectations :P ), Flexible timings - No one cares when you come and leave but work should be completed in SLA. Flexible team members and work style allows telecommuting for short term. Employees are very friendly and their culture is very good. Its always fun in here.

Cons

Company structure is not good. No good middle/low level management. All tasks come eventually to a software engineer - be it an project analysis/evaluation, a board/customer presentation. The load is on the shoulders of the last employee. Company has many ambitions but poor planning/execution.. My verdict : A company to work for short term.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
