Pros

An extremely employee friendly organization, which does not believe in thrusting opinions on others , rather than works on the policy of inclusion. Good opportunities within the company, employees get time off to participate in training programs & personal chores...salary is not bad either..they continued to pay incentive even during the downturn.

Cons

Somehow folks running the show believe all IIM's & management grads are the best managers, most managers are high on intellectual quotient, but their ability to connect with people at an employee level continues to draw flak from within.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
