Pros

Small laid back organisation - not much work pressure. If you're placed in a project as a billable resource, even if your performance is below average, you're safe - unless of course there are customer complaints against you. If you have the urge to learn, this is a good place to be in. Since resources are limited, you would come across opportunities where you would have to learn new languages, applications on your own and use your knowledge in live projects. Organisation provides a good work life balance - good number of leaves - 14 paid vacations, 7 sick days and 10 casual leaves besides the 10 official holidays! Finally, this is a Kolkata based company and in Kolkata the cost of living is lower compared to the other metros.

Cons

The organisation is not transparent as far as compensation & benefits are concerned - no set rules / guidelines. So if you decide to join this organisation, be sure to negotiate your position & compensation package. Once you're in, very little would be decided based on policy / guidelines. Most will be decided on who you know within the organisation. Also this being a small organization with little growth, chances of your growth as a professional or in terms of compensation would also be limited even though you may be a stellar performer! Opportunities are limited, be it onsite postings or more challenging roles.

Pros

They does hear employee concerns and are employee friendly. Examples: As a relocation expense, was eligible for 1 week hotel stay but could not find an apartment soon, they just extended another week when made a phone call. Added my kid in insurance when emailed even though I missed to elect for 3-member insurance. Done H1b in premium to keep up my valid drivers license. Bared all expenses for valid employee concerns. Have a strong immigration, HR, Account department personnel. Fantastic grip on payments industry.

Cons

Stuck to only one client for > 15 years. Strict on policies. No explanation for policies which don't profit the employee and don't know how it benefits the organization too. Example: they wont give approved i-140 when employee wants to leave the company. They wont give any experience letter not even relieving letter. Very rigid to stick only payment industry projects . In 2015 company lost project with Client VISA impacting almost all employees but still they were stubborn to look out only payment industry new projects which would be limited and may not create jobs for all of the employees in the right time. This created insecurity in the employees and they left the company including me.
