Pros

They say expectations are high, but if you’re competent at automation then you should be able to exceed expectations. Most projects that I have been in had friendly people.

Cons

Had to travel after 1.5 years at the company. Some projects will require you to extend without extra compensation. Some people leave because of the lower salaries and the non-transparency with management.

Pros

Large company with big aspirations, a lot of potential

Cons

Strong Indian subculture with undefined and vague reward practices, huge loss of leadership capability after a VSP caused a payoff exodus, not as customer focused as they should be, too margin focused.

Pros

Not much, not sure how this company has come this far.

Cons

Terrible benefits. Only 2 weeks paid vacation even after working in the company for 10 years. Medical insurance is extremely expensive. No growth in the job.
