Pros

A friendly work culture and a good quality of work. You will be spending most of your time with your C, C++ or Java code. You will get good opportunity to travel abroad. And of course no nonsense of dress codes and card swiping on entry and exit. **The above review is team dependent.

Cons

Salary is bit less. Work hours are flexible (get extended to quite a lot)

Pros

Decision making Freedom. Facilities - Breakfast, evening snacks, travel etc etc etc. Experience no bar. No place for non-techies.

Cons

Ruthless to weaker performer. No bench policy. Though I liked these policies actually.

Pros

Some of the hardest working colleagues I've ever worked with. A great suite of products that their clients can't live without, making the company more resilient during economic downturns. Working in Amdocs' Consulting Division (ACD) gives you freedom to explore different roles. This is not true in the regular part of Amdocs. ACD will allow you extended unpaid leave for maternity and possibly other reasons. Once you prove yourself, there's a lot of freedom (working from home some days, setting your own schedule, etc). After one year of absolute hell working with a director (see below), the next two managers were among the best I've had at any company. Very good medical insurance - colleagues had babies and only paid $75 for the entire process!

Cons

Unchecked arrogance gives a few directors and higher the "God complex" - a former director had been known to make people break down in meetings. Questionable professionalism - same director asked certain people to work on Christmas Eve (company holiday) because they were a certain religion (not Christian) and their families wouldn't care. I'm not in HR but shouldn't this type of behavior be frowned upon? Sadly, he may not have even known better, probably because that's how he was treated moving up the ladder. There are many managers who are technically brilliant but poor resource managers. Like many top-heavy companies, it's almost impossible to get a promotion - you'd have better luck leaving and coming back. On the flip side of flexible hours is no concept of work-life balance. Of course, this depends entirely on your project and manager, but as a general company philosophy, having meetings at nights and on weekends is par for the course.
