Pros

Hike is the only Pro.

Cons

1. Unnecessary meetings (completely useless) which takes at least 2 hours daily 2. Forcing to do certifications 3. This one is interesting. CEO conducts sessions on Saturdays and will ask you SQL questions and review of his book (What I did not learn in IIT) 4. Managers asks you to buy their books 5. You cannot focus on your work with all other meetings and initiatives, reviews, audits. you can complete only 20% of your work within 8 hours due to all these stupid meetings/review/audits. To complete remaining 80% of work you must work extra 4-5 hours. 6. That means you have work at least 14-16 hours daily. This is the reasons they are paying more but now you can guess which is also less. 7. No personal life at all. If you turn back while working in this company you can see slide show of your worthy less meetings, review, audits but not your life. 8. Clients are good but not the onsite POCs 9. At the time of Appraisal cycle, they won’t care about all your hard work, they will ask you why you have not done certifications, no initiatives, no extra functional activities. 10. Hyd managers are good compared to Mumbai 11. No words to say about Director, better to be silent 12. No matter if you work till 3 AM in the night again they will expect you by 9 AM next day 13. No employee friend policies/Benefits, if you ask also, you will get the illogical reasons 14. Management doesn’t care about even for late night working Girls. So, Girls please don’t join. 15. You have to attend some other meetings which will not help you in any way on Saturday mornings like 8AM 16. No allowances for EST/PST shifts.

Pros

Started here right out of college and it’s been a great learning journey. Got hands-on with new technologies, including agentic AI, and worked directly with customers on impactful projects. The company encourages using AI tools to improve productivity. If you’re open to continuous learning, you’ll thrive here.

Cons

Fast-paced environment can be overwhelming at first, but you get used to it and grow quickly.

Pros

There is no any pros

Cons

Employees are treated as tools rather than people, with a strong focus on results and little regard for employee well-being. HR and management appear to be aligned primarily with the company's interests. Compensation growth is limited, and long working hours are common. The day often starts with meetings at 8 a.m., requires office attendance from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and continues with additional meetings until as late as 10 p.m.
