Pros

Can be a research project of great prospect. The three months I've spent here and in the days to come I dont expect anything good from this company.

Cons

Oh, I could go on for days. Right from stinking washrooms to tasteless food. But the ones that astonished me were: 1. They have no place to accomodqte those people already working for them and still they hire peopleevery week. 2. They are very clear with their policy that they will not provide you with a computer. 3. They pay you 7% less than other top notch IT service companie like Infosys, TCS 4. Absolutely no entertainment for you at office. The only " entertainment" is a miniature lawn with half of its green receding away. 5. Training provided to fresher software engineers are well below par. They cannot even accomodate every batch inside their own office premises. 6. Getting tagged to a project after training happens really fast but only GOD knows when work will start. 7. Top management is worthless, middle management is even worse. 8. There are always more people sitting inside the library than there are books or computers. 9. Learning curve is poor 10. They require every fresher to sit for a silly certification exam, the fees for which is borne by the examinee and is reimbursed through a lengthy bottlenecked process if you pass the certification. And the list goes on.....

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
