Pros

1. Good place to work for if you are into following skill set: -BA -Testing -HR -Manager -Senior Management -Contract Employees -Murex related technology -Freshers (Freshers are treated as angel's here. You will enjoy like anything) 2. Good package 3. Small company, so growth will be good. 4. Lots of parties, if you like to party 5. Fruits will be served every day 6. Cab/Laptop/Company Sim/Car Loan/House Loan facility 7. Good infrastructure

Cons

1. If you are out of a [Billable] position, then you will be thrown out of the company. 2. Firing rate is quite high compared to any other company [As this is a small company, rate of firing is high] 3. They treat employees as contract resources and play with their career. If you want to join as a contract employee then its a best place to work for. 4. Not many technology projects. As of now there is only one .Net project & very less number of java projects. All other projects are related to business consulting / management consulting/ murex, so not a good place for .Net/java people. 5. Lots of politics 6. In-competent managers 7. No Technical training's 8. No in-house tools means you need to install all free evaluation version of software. Company has no vision to build technology in-house tools instead spends lot of money into partying. 9. There is no strategy to grow. Its like as and when you get a new project hire people, and when project completes, if there are no other place to fill the resources fire them. This is the only strategy / vision. I am a technology resource, so my reviews are based on personal view and may not match with skill set mentioned in Pros. as all the above points in Cons may not be applicable for them.

Pros

Pros: Free gatorade, waters, sodas in the office. some resource managers / senior leaders actually care.

Cons

Cons: Overall: The Firm is turning into a poor quality IT outsourcing firm. It is NOT a management consultancy, and it can barely compete with Big 4 advisory (think EY FSO). The new "digital" division is just another facade to cover for tech pmo roles. Projects: Extremely poor to so-so projects. Most 'projects' are actually outsourcing / staff aug projects (think you're filling in for a low profile role the client doesn't actually want to hire/pay for). The "Change Sourcing" projects are outsourcing engagements. A large number of consultants are actually just doing testing/PMO for groups at banks now. The more interesting projects cap off at designing and implementing PMO. If you are looking for financial services projects, please look elsewhere. Leadership: Poor to average at best. Most don't really care about their employees' development. Most are just excited about their big payout when FIS fully buys out Capco in the next few years. Benefits: Great vacation allowance - however many days are "forced" vacation days. If you're not billing, be expected to take a few days off. Pay: On the lower end of consultancies. Bonuses are almost non-existent, even with a "record-year".
