Pros

1. Leader in telecom domain. So if you get into BT projects then there are high chances of getting onsite. 2. Can learn some of the telecom and networking concepts

Cons

1. Salary sucks 2. Incompetent middle management 3. Tech leads are for name sake. Not good technically at all. 4. Don't keep their promises regarding salary hike, bonuses etc,. 5. You can't get out of any project unless you quit. 6. Do whatever client says even if its impossible. 7. Policies regarding salary structure, variable pay, appraisal are not transparent. 8. You may have to wait for 5 years atleast to get to next level unless you are manager's "pet". 9. Too much of process for everything to maintain CMM Level 5.

Pros

* Pay arrives on time, consistently. * Benefits package is decent relative to the industry. * They do invest in internal training programs.

Cons

* Promotions happen, but pay raises simply do not — in three years, I never witnessed a single one, regardless of title or tenure. * They clawed back a 1% cost-of-living raise by quietly cutting variable pay by an equivalent amount. * Overtime is effectively off the table. Budget comes first, always. * HR exists on paper only. Don't expect support or resolution when you need it. * Expense reimbursements — including professional certifications — are like pulling teeth. Expect a fight. * Benefits and perks have been steadily eroded over time to cut costs. * Certain groups of employees are visibly and consistently treated with less respect, given fewer opportunities, and held to different standards than others. Leadership has shown no interest in addressing it.
