Pros

All the perks which you can buy yourself for 100$ a month

Cons

I worked for simulink data management group. From day 1 the focus is not in making you learn and improve but on getting things done. Even though the company has good goals and objectives, it is enshrouded by their 2 release cycles a year. Simulink is their cash cow. There is lot of pressure to get things done in a less time but with great quality and in the way they demand. There is lot of focus and emphasis to learn MATLAB LANGUAGE which is good for nothing if you plan to leave the company. I had decent skills and C++ and I had to loose everything I know. Management doesn’t like any new ideas and if you say anything against your boss be prepared for a PIP, which is a legal process to kick you out.I got a PIP and I just quit on the same day. Now I work for a Fortune 46 company. I feel I wasted 1 year of my life. Don’t join simulink groups at all. Last but not the least. They boast about Glassdoor reviews and all but the fact is your career progression is not based on your talent rather it is based on the number of years of experience. I strongly suggest don’t waste your time if you want to grow in your life. After all it is a good for nothing company and is going to have a tough time in the future to come because of AI.

Pros

i am reading some reviews saying us trip is a pro. grow up. if you think us trip is a justification for joining company than you need to rethink your career goals. i honestly can't find a single pro to write here.

Cons

oh where do i begin. if you are aiming for core and think ase is a core role after their ppt before placement season, please read the following: "Hi my name is xyz, thanks for calling, what can i assist u with?" i bet u've heard this before - call centers. if that's the role ur looking for after clearing gate, getting into an iit, being a matka(mtech), go ahead and join. if u are looking for core, do NOT join. you are going to be stuck in a support role for a while repeating the line i wrote above. to get in other roles(not really core anywhere in bengaluru office), u have to work WITH the title of a support engineer, juggling both support and semi-core work. you are going to do a mediocre job in your projects because u have to be on support even on the time allotted to projects(customers keep coming back, manager assigns u pointless cases). and if u want to get out of the company.. good luck finding a core role with the precious "support engineer" title. it is a struggle. edg brochure reads like u'll be working on cutting edge technologies. the realities is u'll be doing call center work even if u don't know/aren't internsted in matlab. u'll be supporting service companies like tcs(there are core companies too). first of all - SUPPORT, secondly - for service commpanies like TCS. additionally, the pay is abysmal for postgraduates from top-end colleges. don't undervalue urself. you can definitely do better than this pay.

Pros

The company is well-funded. When it's not a plague year you get a little office with a door to yourself.

Cons

N.B.: HR encourages employees to write GlassDoor reviews soon after they join, before they realize they've been trapped. Ignore the positive reviews and read the moderate-to-negative ones. In my experience: - The culture is corporate, cut-throat, and pretentious (e.g. coworkers are "colleagues") - High pressure, low pay - Lots of code (20 million+ LOC), very little documentation - High micromanagement, low autonomy - Managers will scold you for talking with your teammates about anything not related to your immediate task - Managers treat your estimates as commitments - It is improper to suggest new ideas unless you've been there several years - You'll leave with few transferrable skills because all of their tools are custom-made - Despite claims to diversity, the workforce is largely Indian
