Pros

Good pension, good work life balance, people are friendly.

Cons

Poor resource and project management, a lot of works are duplicated and project has little impacts. Totally disregard individual development need by setting uniform objective for everyone in the same grade. Feel like a wast of time here.

Pros

401k match and vacation is good.

Cons

Senior management tends to change their minds on many decisions made, which makes it difficult for employees trying to deliver. Culture is suppose to be transforming, but not sure how it's being done without a change in senior management.

Pros

Captive unit..almost no sever impact if missed deadlines or major defect went in production. Secure job and slow but stable growth in salary. Good work life balance encouraged Perfect for someone looking for stress free environment or working woman with small kid to handle both career and motherhood and household responsibilities. Big brand in market and really large company and group Favours in house talent..so fresher's have bright future if ready to work for less salary for some years

Cons

Leadership is not active and spineless People doing same job for number of years No promotion policy which is followed here Someone can become PM in 10 years in company while lateral from other company with 15+ years experience may end up being TL or APM Pressure of not keeping job but surviving politics
