Pros

Good Senior Management Good Team members Decent Pay at Onsite

Cons

Poor Planning and Project Management, Some of the middle mgmt lacks utter professionalism and runs project as if they are doing a academic project. Very bad in client expectations mgmt and makes the poor employees to slog to meet unjust expecations of client wihtout even billing for overtime. So nil work life balance and the poor freshers who work 24/7 to please their managers are projected as the role models. In short heaven for managers who have poor technical skills and enjoy talking and writing mails and attending meetings... Leaves are not carried forward and expires at the end of financial year and there will be so much work pressure that you are not allowed to take leave. Different IBU mgmt fight among each other in executing the project thus making the lower rung employees to suffer more.
