Pros

Tech stack is modern. Decent amount of project initiatives.

Cons

Very political and no diversity. All managers and 80% of employees are of the same race and work culture is a certain way because of that. Managers seem to hire Indian background because they can push them and demand without backlash and have more loyalty. No work life balance and IT culture is not aligned with PepsiCo. Managers will be very political and also take on more work than their subordinates can handle because the work culture is Indian. Lots of H1B causes pressure as well. They will try to squeeze you and have done layoffs before. Management is not all bad but the players who are political do not know how to manage a team, plan projects, manage WLB and are known to shift blame.

Pros

Smart boss, approved working remotely

Cons

I had a horrible on-boarding experience. Because the previous employee in my position was there for over 10+ years, management was not clear with what programs I needed to do my job. It took months just to sort it out. My first paycheck was delayed because of incorrect on-boarding. The whole department worked remotely therefore there was a serious disconnect with other colleagues which led to not feeling supported. For being in a department that is suppose to be "for" the employees, it sure felt like they didn't give a rats "a" about me. The company also did a restructure of titles which did not correlate with the work. All admins were changed to "coordinator" which was insulting, especially when I am known to be an Sr. Executive Assistant. Lastly, they pay what would be considered "under poverty level" for the region/county I was located.
