Pros

The organization is standing on the throes of a major technical upheaval and it is a fantastic learning ground for anyone who is willing to go the extra mile and bring about the best of technical innovation and business relevance. The management team in Bangalore is extremely cooperative, transparent and keen to ensure that the team stays as efficient as possible. Work life balance is not dealt with as an afterthought, up-skilling is considered a mandate and the overall atmosphere is very encouraging. Compensation policies are a notch above most organizations with crystal clear specifications and no inflated CTCs

Cons

None that can be termed a deal breaker

The environment is all about sucking up to senior management. If you are good at Politics, you will be able to survive even without proper education
