Pros
None that I can think of
Kontras
The company does not provide laptops to employees and offers a dismal 14-day leave to everyone. They (think they) put high regard to data security by asking everyone to work on (not very new) desktops with close to non-existent internet access. They are under the impression that everyone is out to get their precious trade secrets and hence control what employees can/ cannot do. IT infra structure is pathetic to say the least: meetings rooms are equipped with old projectors and shared desktops to access / project files etc (highly unhygienic during this period of pandemic), IT support is highly bureaucratic with layers upon layers of approvals (mostly manual with papers) for everything (i.e. increasing your mailbox size, accessing external websites). These show the level of trust the company puts in their employees and how amazingly warped their thinking is. During the pandemic, employees are to settle their WFH arrangement: use own desktop/ laptop or buy at own expense. No company support whatsoever. One would completely understand if this were an emerging company strained on resources. But it is not. You make your own judgment here. 14-day leave is standard for every level and doesn't seem to be increased anytime soon (this despite HR hinting during my interview that they were looking at adjusting it to reflect better employee benefits). So unless you manage to negotiate your remuneration package sufficiently well to cover these botches, you should think twice (or perhaps thrice) before thinking of joining this company.
