Pros

Good for freshers out of the collage to gain experience. Good work if you happen to be in a decent account. Some managers are good and treat employees as human but Jerks are everywhere so beware.

Cons

Higher management only cares about moving numbers, agreed that what they are doing the business for but there should be a human factor. Lots of internal politics at the senior management level, affect employees. No god motivation factor even if you work for 16-17 hrs a day. No company offsite in years.

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
