Pros

Awesome facilities Mysore training was good (though u will soon see that it was all useless when you join production !!!! )

Cons

crap pay too many variables in your salary 90% managers are incompetent no flexibility in terms of choosing IBU`s or even location (sometimes they send u to crap places like chennai) worst HR in the industry. Almost all the HR`s are useless & incompetent. Bad quality of work. Most of the projects are either testing or maintenance. Regionalism is very much there esp. in chennai dc people talk in tamil at conference rooms & also during onsite calls. Extremely slow growth.
