Pros

The only good thing about working here was that I made some lifelong friends. Having company in misery can create some really strong bonds you see.

Cons

- CEO is a know-it-all blowhard with 0 people skills. - Just because CEO went to IIT, he thinks he knows everything - difference of opinion is frowned upon and employees that have the courage to stand up for themselves are treated very badly. - Company expects you to work inhuman hours and invest your blood and sweat in the company while expecting nothing in return. Absolutely no work-life balance. - The work done here is not great either (atleast it was not when I was still working there) - they mostly get contracts from Microsoft, for work that no one at Microsoft wants to do - nothing innovative or bleeding-edge.

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.
