Pros

Location advantage if you are a mallu , for people who wants to get in to IT industry UST offers a good prospect ( average pay max 20K INR PM for programmers, i was in finance i know the figures)

Cons

Lot of internal politics , and favoritism by the management , if you please them be sure to go up to an extent , Lot of mallu managers ( with really bad people management skills) but somehow these people are at top ( mid managers) , for a similar profile in finance( it's the same profile) a guy from IIMK was offered 11 lakh per annum and a Kerala B school guy (4-5 lakhs) the iim guy didn't join bye the way :-p

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
