Pros

1) Medical care is fully covered for employees, spouse and children which is great, this includes any doctor consultation, medicine cost, lab tests etc. Parental medical reimbursement is upto 95K with some conditions but still good. 2) Unlimited sick leaves annually. 3) Core technology work is fine but you would not be doing much hands on, fully dependent on vendor partners.

Cons

1) Highly political environment and mainly people with good presentation skill make fast progress even if they have not done much work but can project they have done so. 2) Work hours can be crazy many times and that is kind of norm here although there is a lot of talk on health and wellbeing. 3) MBAs are preferred here and somehow people can be in awe of these folks who may not understand a word of technology but can just talk a lot even if they do not actually have content.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
