Pros

Nothing except company Cabs. Could not find any motivating and supporting things.

Cons

- Lack of thought leadership - unprofessional culture - employees don't trust Senior leadership and local leadership. Unethical and homegrown headless leaders, not seen the outer world and always want to save their job - poor or negligible HR and other supporting functions - Slowly replacing the senior developers with junior and college out freshers ...as a strategy to contain the cost..rather than focusing on more sales and product penetration - Basic management style or mantra of revenue growth only through acquisition is fundamentally wrong.. - 150+ people leaving in this quarter out 400 in Hyderabad is simple indication of sinking ship and current status. Lot more to follow as company changed the culture from product company to service company culture..utilization, cost, etc..

Pros

While they claim to be "pro-employee" they are very much pro-Canadian employee. As long as you are a Canadian, your job should be safe. And US based role is in jeopardy.

Cons

Laying off all Americans. I do not see relevant data on location based statistics for the last 4 rounds of layoffs. The bulk of the "trimming" has been based in US. This is cost savings. Additionally, they post US based jobs for 24 hours then pull those and post H1B notifications that they could not find equivalent US resources and need to outsource for cheaper money.
