Vantaggi

1. Industry standard compensation 2. Cabs (but very poor service) 3. Food (quality is poor, also not allowed to ask for more than 2 chicken pieces)

Svantaggi

Feels like a toxic startup environment in India despite being a global brand. • Extremely poor work culture — managers, leaders, and HR lack empathy. • Rigid 3-day in-office requirement, even if you are unwell — otherwise, you are forced to take leave. • Office hours are officially 10 AM – 4 PM, but real work happens after hours: daily calls from 5:30 PM to 10–11 PM, followed by more work to resolve issues from those calls. • US managers work only until 3–3:30 PM their time but keep pushing work and pressure on India team members late into the night. • Cab service is unreliable and food quality is bad. • 90% of employees are just waiting to complete a year or get another offer (even with the same pay) to leave. • Work is mostly no-code tasks or migrations — little to no real learning or career growth. Feels more like being in school than in a professional engineering role. • Surveys are claimed to be anonymous, but feedback leads to direct confrontation from managers the very next week.

Vantaggi

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Svantaggi

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
