Pros

Nothing that I can think of

Cons

1. Long Working hours. You have to spend at-least 60+ hours a week & still you won't be satisfying your managers expectations. 2. Work Politics. Even after working for like 60+ hours a week, you won't be given that much importance in your projects. 3. Low Salaries/ Increments (Everything depends on your manager & that you can only get by flattering them) 4. No bus/cab service. But when you raise the same concern in front of your manager/HR/Admins, they will start talking about company policies. 5. No cafeteria. They have P1 to be said as cafeteria 6. No women security (as per company policies there will be no cabs after 10PM) 7. No time given to developers to explore new ideas because of their "AGILE model". 8. The “real” conversations happen offline, rather than face-to-face 9. Lack of healthy debate makes it difficult to build new processes and products. 10. This company is like a goat race where employees are focusing on flattering Team leads. Team leads on focusing on flattering Managers and the cycle goes on...

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.
