Pros

Only good thing is that salary will be paid on time, and good friendly relationship among employees.

Cons

I have been with Orion for 5+ years and have lost much of my valuable and precious time which was supposed to be with my family.There will not be any sort of work life balance. Need to work on weekends continuously(both days) during releases which happens almost every 3 months and unplanned patches in between. Comp offs will be provided for the weekend work.If somebody is not able to come on weekends, there will be calls coming from the leadership asking for reason. If an employee is not available on weekend, they need to apply for leave as well as per the changes from new leadership team. There is no proper planning from the management , In the morning there will be an email from onshore to create a patch, test and deliver the same day. Most of the releases happen by next day morning or even later, everyone need to be in office waiting for the fixes overnight. This is one classics example on how the company runs. The status calls from onshore is like a question answer session. Most of the onshore team behaves very badly at the offshore and there is lot of frustration within the team. There is too much of pressure on everyone at offshore team. There will be celebrations planned on Xmas and Onam time and also releases planned on the same day . Whoever is participating in these celebrations need to work late night to complete the tasks. There is lot of micromanagement from the lop level as well. The new leadership is trying into bring many employee unfriendly policies. The appraisal cycle will be delayed for 4-5 months every year, arrears will be paid even though. During the work from home time, it is a sort of 24/7 work support from home.
