Pros

Company is pretty flexible in providing time off ....and the management is ok

Cons

Poor compensation policies : So far the company got away by using the ESOP as a tool to retain talent ....instead of paying a good competitive package. But now with the stock falling out of favour it is time to seriously think about fair compensation policies. lack of clear career planning : Having been a growing company for the last 10 years it was easy to provide a fast moving path to the employees.Now that it is reaching a certain level of maturity ......growth will not be all easy & readily possible ...so proper career planning needs to be implemented so that the associates used to quick jumps are not demotivated.

Pros

Ample opportunity to grow, management is transparent to some extent. One may expect proper guidance from your supervisor. Most of the Peers are co-ordial and cooperative. Very competent, helpful and hardworking offshore team, with well defined processes in place. As company is growing at a fast and steady pace, there are ample opportunity to grow, learn new technologies and getting challenging job assignments are easier.

Cons

Projects are heavily dependent on local/account manager's capabilities and personal relationship with client. No quantitative assessment process in place. Assessment's depends solely on your immediate boss. Good work and a cajoling (to your boss) can lead to quick promotions.
