Pros

Most projects have a great work life balance. Limited work load compared to other players in the industry Good onshore opportunities if one performs well and is really interested to work outside India. Young and non formal culture at work. Some people are great to work with, good number of folks from IIMs,IITs, NITs. However, they do not stay for long if not provided an onshore opportunity.

Cons

Too much hierarchy. A promotion does not mean much. Much more like a small increment. One happens to be doing the same thing even after 2 promotions. Not good for above consultant positions (Assistant Project Manager , Project Manager or upper level) as the senior management does not consist of very bright people. You will feel stuck.

Pros

Paycheck clears, that’s about it.

Cons

Started off with supportive leadership, teamwork and opportunities to grow. At the start of this year, entire department went toxic. Leadership stopped communicating, people getting fired, threats that you would get fired, being told that they are “reducing workforce” in august, creating ridiculous metrics that were impossible to meet due to their own bad technology. Coworkers started getting mental and physical health issues trying to keep their jobs, and many are trying to leave. I have never seen such a toxic workplace in my 30 years of employment in this industry.
