Pros

Pay is little more than service based companies If you are lucky you can get max 4 weeks onsite to France but for that too long queue/budget issue Free breakfast, lunch, snacks, tea/coffee It is on outer ring road so accessible for many Most work are support type 8hr work and not that difficult so no need to slog or work on weekend Missing task deadline is not an issue here Company is stable so far so no need to fear Easily one can survive here as are works are not that challenging Minimum 15% hike year on year

Cons

It is not a R&D center but it is a support center Most of the works are no-brainer poor maintenance/support type Resources provided are not good No laptop No work from home Micromanagement is everywhere Learning curve is very small Legacy applications/products Outdated tools and technologies Bangalore center strength has grown to 1300+ people so politics/favoritism has started Most of the products are developed in France and handed over to Bangalore center for maintenance Now they are moving their projects gradually to Agile so it's a nightmare to meet deadlines No longterm onsite opportunities Salary not at par with other product companies 10% variable in CTC Miserable breakfast/lunch/snacks Puppet HRs as Managers control everything Variable pay is not paid fully; 50-60% they deduct showing perfirmance reasons

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
