Pros

Training, Infrastructure, On-sites. Overall a good company for fershers

Cons

Once a employee joins as a fresher, he/she should change his/her company max within 2/3 years, else financially he/she is never going to grow. The company will be glad to pay you a decent hike if you quit and join the company again in a years time, but not if you stick to the company. If you stick to the company, you are taken for granted. The salaries are nowhere comparable to what market offers, even managers in the company will agree to that. The only way out is an on-site or quit. Laterals who join your project will be earning much higher than you. They say to have a process of normalization of salary which believe me never happens. You are forced to take Competency Exams that would definitely not improve competency. This is a just reason the company uses to down your appraisal ratings, hikes and promotions My appraisal rating has always been "Meeting Expectations" and that's not because they are not happy with my work or have anything negative to say about my work. Its because I have just the minimum CPI (Competency P... Index) . This a company that supply technical manpower and this is how they work. Their business model is successful and we cannot blame them. Just remember "NEVER LOVE YOUR COMPANY". Join the company only for 2 options 1. You need some on-site to earn money 2. You have no other option Being a project manager is the worst job in the company. I had always felt pitty for each one of them. 1. Finding it difficult to retain an employee, they have a very bad time with Customers 2. Processes in the name of quality is big overhead 3. Requires managers to collect data which is not practical and is always manipulated to satisfy the QC team 4. Managers will never be able to concentrate in the core project needs 5. Should be able to convince your employees in case of resignation, without any benefits to the employee ( They are rated based on how they can do that ) But if you can survive all these and get into the upper management

Pros

Managers and management are very supportive and resolve escalations and issues very quick. Lots of learning opportunities. Lots of projects and work more stable.

Cons

Less respect, not very professional, no proper planning, everything is now now now. Very fast pace, need to work extra hrs to get on speed. May have to compromise personal, family time at times. WFH is not an option. Need to commute to client location Monday-Friday. Pay is not great.

Pros

Good coworkers and project opportunities. It is up to you to pursue these opportunities.

Cons

HR and immigration folks need to be transparent. Immigration team submitted my visa petition for premium processing, but my visa didn't get approved on time. When I asked immigration for an explanation, they just cited "delays" and were vague in their responses. I asked for documentation on when the premium processing was sent and they did not respond nor provide anything. My 240-day extension for my visa ended, so I was not working for some time. I was a few days away from getting approved. HR then terminates me out of nowhere, saying that I am not authorized to work. Even my manager did not know that I was being terminated. I spoke with immigration who said that I had already been taken off payroll and I would be reinstated once the visa was approved. Even the immigration team said that the termination should not have happened. HR just pulled the trigger and it has impacted me greatly.
