Pros

-Training to stress test yourself. - Makes your life easy if you wanna punish yourself. - Training for chamchagiri and petty politics on a daily basis. - Refer your enemies into it and you would regret doing that later, knowing their torture.

Cons

- Policies don't mean a thing in this place. - Anyone can be fired at any time. I've seen notice periods vary from 1 day to 3 months based on managements call. Final settlement & relieving letter is on management's discretion. - Salary can be revised at any point of time. Agreements don't mean a thing here. - Managers are very outdated technically and tactically. They are not even good at playing mind games. Every trick they play is pretty obvious, yet muscle their way with the position they have. - Most of them try to project others work as theirs. This is true especially with managers. - General practice is to hire new people for projects. Get some bakra to finish the project, pushing him to this limits. Then they fire the guy and let the idiots(with petty salaries) manage the maintenance work. - There is absolutely no good way to part ways with this company. Management will screw your life while leaving the company. - Company's future in India is doubtful as far as the technical team is concerned. - One should not have any self respect to survive in that environment. I regret meeting the management there. Worst thing to have happened to my life. Nobel peace price can be awarded to any sincere guy working there for more than one years.

Pros

Works well if you're in school, or looking to supplement your income. The schedule is flexible.

Cons

You are paid based on your position and not your level of experience, education, or tenure with the company. It is almost impossible to consider making a career here.
