Pros

Good job security. Good choice of projects. And at least the paychecks do not bounce. Was pleased they gave the option to focus on either business or technical.

Cons

Poor pay. Poor PTO policy. Lack of career growth. No tuition reimbursement. Not a friendly company for American employees as foreign workers will speak in Hindi around American employees and in front of the client.

Pros

Fast paced company and hence is a good place to swiftly rise on corporate ladder. Flexibility on assignments Rewards come easy till mid management level.

Cons

It is difficult to rise in the company after mid level management especially is US. This is specifically more true for people wanting to go in delivery management. In US they have client facing managers as account managers. Delivery at managment level are more needed in India.
