Work culture

Engineer (Current Employee) - India - February 28, 2023

Micromanagement and bad leadership. Continuously changing team goals and tasks, lack of good tools and always expected to work overtime. Too much criticism and pressure on employees.

Not Satisfied and Ended up leaving the company in few month

Senior Software Engineer (Former Employee) - Bangalore, Karnataka - January 21, 2023

This is not like other verbose review which do not give any real world idea inside the company . I tried to be realistic with this review based on my experience being in SD-Wan team Bangalore.Pros:Work culture is good. Co-workers are supportive.ConsDon't go with the "Best place to work" - tag1. Project is not that good. Most of the project usages legacy technology. Lot of unnecessaryprocess to do a simple job.2. There are no best practices are followed. Lot of people to do the same job, so different people follows different practices.3. Build process takes 6-7 hrs to complete. Sometimes one day to complete. So you can think how much development time got wasted.4. Not much innovation happens here.5. Everything depends on your managers. Even relocation benefit is not part of company policy. So please read your offer letter carefully. You will not get relocation benefit if later you move to new state.6. Managers are not supportive at all. The company has no strict work from office policy, but managers will force to come to office. So dont know whats going on here.7. There is no growth opportunity. You will end up learning nothing but some bunch of nonsense processes. Most of the good works goes to US and China team.8. SD-WAN Bangalore UI development manager is worst. Think twice before joining this project.9. Think twice before joining this company. Its better to work in small company rather than working here.

Amazing company without a job security

Data Analyst - Growth Marketing analytics (Current Employee) - Bengaluru, Karnataka - October 19, 2022

Amazing people, amazing culture, amazing benefits. But all these things are not matched with job security. Every August they fire bunch of people in the name of limited restructuring and it is not based on performance , it is random. Lot of reorganization happening every 4-5 months so growth is very slow, yearly increment is 4-5% only.

Pros

Work culture, work life balance

Cons

Job security

Pros

Perks, Esops, recreation claims, pick ups and drops....many

Good place and company to work for (Webex Divison)

Sales Specialist (Current Employee) - Hyderabad, Telangana - June 12, 2022

A decent tech company and good work culture and good opportunities if you're in the right team and product. Management does thinks of employees well being whenever possible. A brand name in the industry easily recognisable and identifiable in the public domain makes your job a little easier.

A good and secure place to be at

Software Engineer 2 (Current Employee) - Remote - June 10, 2022

Its a great place to start your career, on onboarding process was very accommodating, peers are always ready to help. Sometimes things do get out of hand and PRDs are changed on the fly but that's a rarity. Products are good and leaders are open to suggestions.
