Pros

1. Big brand name in telco domain . 2. Many wfh 3. No work . One can simply come to office , then play tt .. and go home. 4. One can come at 10 and leave by 6 .

Cons

Everything ... 1. As i have mentioned there is no work, so growth is not there. 2. Too much politics .. 3. From a developer point of view very very less opportunity to learn anything . 4. Although they say that they have the policy of internal job switching but it depends on the manager and his manager, whether you will be released or not . They will threaten people who over tries to switch internal saying.. it will get blocked from higher management. So now u have come to bad book higher management ..etc... So ultimately people leave .. 5. Micro management at its peak level. 6. Rather than doing any actual work, they will spend time for just unnecessary , redundant Meeting and meetings.. and for which delivery gets delayed. when the delivery date comes, if u raise these concerns, they will simply refuse. 7. DON'T join specially if you are developer. U will join as developer.. then u will do testing work .. As there is not much work.. maximum time u will do testing only.. 8. Salary is avg . Less than other product companies.. they will give around 12lpa for 7 exp. If are lateral joining with higher package. Next 2 years u will not get hike. But yeah.. if you want relaxed life.. no work. No career growth. With a decent salary , come to office at 10 and leave by 6 then it is good for u.. that is the reason in Glassdoor every review has that "work life balance" .. Think twice before joining this company. Don't join Just because of brand name..It's your career .
