Pros

Location is convenient for some.

Cons

Politics is all there is. India teams are not empowered. Service company culture. Leave policy only on papers People are denied paternity leaves. Poor team culture, combating with your peers is encouraged. Servival of the worst culture- the worse a team player you are, the higher you grow. Insecurity- everyone is afraid of loosing their job Hence business delivery and quality work takes a backseat, personal agenda and politics prevails. Technically backward People are promised promotions to get longer hours and later denied stating stupid reasons like 'you cracked that joke in that dinner' At senior level Tech contribution is not recognised, only managerial work is. Not good to join at a senior level Too many highly paid consultants around the globe, perms are always at a backseat.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
