Pros

Smart, hardworking employees. Half day Fridays in the summer if you can take them

Cons

Benefits are competitive, not great. While I expect work to have its busy times, employees constantly run at over capacity and no concept of work/life balance. Promotions based on who has a high visibility role and not necessarily hard work.

People oriented and very good work life balance. Good performance globally. Great place to work and to build leadership skills.

Cons

Slow decision making. Not well known in India, but growing in presence. May take a few years before it reaches an optimal size
