Pros

Good environment Nice office Managenent is concerned about employee satisfaction. they mentain glamour very good in compareson to other companies, good training facility.

Cons

Not at all geting the oppertunity to work in the new technologies. They do not use availavle tools for developement work. and they dont have the updated knowledge as well. There are projects where 90% work is support work. So there is no oppertunity of career growth for a developer as long as he is working in that kind of project. poor transport system for calcutta SEZ area.
