Pros

Onsite opportunities, Provides opportunity to people without technical knowledge and helps them to learn on the job at the cost of customers.

Cons

Management believe more on words than performance. No need to work if you are good in communication. None of the managers have technical expertise. No support from management or company policy to balance personal/work life balance.

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
