Pros

1. You can have a good time here if you can strictly follow the office timings(9:30am-6pm) and do nothing at all. 2. You get monthly mobile bill reimbursement of 500rs and Rs. 10000 for mobile purchase once in 2 years. 3. There is no cafeteria or recreation zone but snack is served in evenings.

Cons

1. High Risk of getting sacked without any logical reason. Your manager doesn't like you and that enough, you may be asked not to come to work the following day. 2. Lack of leadership and management. Top management involved in petty and laughable things. 3. Very poor work culture. Dirty politics. Completely unprofessional ways of handling situations and people. 4. Policies are bad and not as per IT standards. There is no work from home and flexibility. eg. you need to be in office at 9:30 am every day no matter how hard and late you work. 5. Its just Captive just by name, there is no growth/learning/onsite/certifications etc. 6. There is nothing for recreation or even a proper cafeteria or break out area. You have to rely on the street side food stalls for lunch/snack. 7. Senior managers do not have any foresight or vision, they care just about cost of snacks. 8. Contractors are treated worst than bonded labourers. 9. It a company running like a chemistry lab experiment, senior management will try different things without any logic or reason and go back to something else once it doesnt work

Pros

Evening Snacks. Easy working hours.

Cons

1. Poor upper Management, it seems they haven't worked in MNC's. They don't have vision. Firing the good employees. They hardly care about project deliveries. Dont know how long they can sustain the idea of captive center. I think they are only concerened about themselves by encashing huge salaries from ATC, US. 2. They can ask you to leave organization anytime because of internal politic. So people who are looking for stability and have commitment. Don't think of joining. 3. There whole idea of building captive center is falling, they have started hiring people from service based company. So the basic idea of to cost saving is a failure there. 4. Most of their policies are not documented. So you can face trouble while leaving the organization. 5. Even the fresher who are joining are not considering it and absconding the organization.

Pros

If you are looking to relax with good work life balance - join this company. Hike better compared to other Indian IT companies.

Cons

Not much learning after 1 year. Leadership is not flexible for work from home and makes it a point to monitor if employees are reaching office by time. Immediate manager is biased towards particular group of people and ignores others. Not much growth in terms of position/role. You will not get good company of colleagues here. After sometime you will realise the need to get out. Office not good enough to allow recreation.
