Pros

- Pays you above market average - Engineers of CA have a good Brand image in the market - Quality of Work (depends)

Cons

- Absolute pandemonium when it comes to managing people. - Management is very autocratic. - Performance Appraisal process is the most archaic I've ever seen. - Hike, Performance Appraisal, Promotion solely on perceptions of management. - ITC (India Technology Center) management treats US office as their customer. ITC Management tries to appease US Management all the time. - No work life balance. - You might be working for late hours in the night for years only to know in the end that, your stuff is being thrown out. - Jr most Employees are blamed for big failures. - Management takes credit for success but failures are blamed on specially ITC. - Highly incompetent middle management - It's Jungle Raj, hardly any camaraderie between colleagues. 'You are on your own' is the name of the game. - You are counted on no of hours spent in office. - No process at all for any of the software development activity.
