Pros

Good in relocation expenses and initial stay for US laterals

Cons

1. Tamil dominated company and all key decisions are taken by Tamil people,doesn't matter capability :) 2. Strong political environment,specially at Manager and above levels. If you are north indian doing excellent work, you will be thrown off the fence by Tamil group and your Tamil supervior will lead this efforts 3. No increment and very high expectations for less salary In nut shell, bad company for non-tamil people...
