Pros

Exposure to trading technologies. Good hands on learning, thanks to poor training structure.Good insurance

Cons

Delayed hikes,minimal bonus,no organisational growth, stubborn product leaders who worked on single products through their career and have no exposure to other products. Condescending behaviour from managers. Nobody knows what yearly goals are. 5 days in office with 9 hours log in time and this only applies to India offices. Outside India nobody cares. They provide 5 WFH days in a quarter and call it flexibility. 23 leaves altogether. Fancy ppt in townhall with zero meaning. India management is clueless. India operations head asked in a townhall on why employees need hikes. Believes that inflation is not a concern. Immature and undeserving people at the top who get offended when feedback is provided. Hiring in bulk from bunch of private universities and making new hires' life hell. Heard someone leadership team creating divisive comments about different geographies of country. Some experienced employees were threatened that they can be replaced with bunch of new graduates. This creates rift between employees. Morale is at the bottom. Always in silent lay off mode since few years. Leadership team thinks they are the ultimate bosses and pays no attention to ground level reality.

Pros

Great view from the NYC office. Had a great team which is why I stayed so long (over 12 years).

Cons

No direction, no transparency, no communication from leadership, bonuses cut, and now mass layoffs.
