Pros
Great culture, friendly colleagues.
Cons
Salary differs a lot especially in the apex group. It is not based on the value that one brings to the table. Lateral hires / people close to EXEC are being paid way more than the others (how does one explain a variation of 10-15 lakhs at the same level). This is leading to a breach of trust and discontent. This is precisely the reason salary bands are not made public for the apex group (size is greater than 100 and hence there should not be any privacy issues). Company in the field of analytics is failing to understand such a simple logic – market realities are fine but do not penalize the existing set of people. Don’t assume that the differences are not known, if it is not corrected soon the same would show up in work and hence business would suffer hugely. Similarly, there is again no rationale or transparency behind allocation of ESOPs. Some of the great EXEC members have ridiculously given more to their favorite people within apex. Why can’t the company make its stance clear? One key objective is accumulation of wealth (amongst others) and the same is getting mowed down by mindless arrogance and high handedness of senior management.
