Pros

job growth possibilities if you live in mumbai or manila; if based in dev market will gain exposure to other cultures when you train your eventual replacement

Cons

new ideas are stifled or stolen by managers. no risk is worth taking in case it goes wrong, no one wants to be holding the bag. firm is focused on cutting costs, paying the c-suite, and milking revenue from clients. promotions are part random part based on kissing up to clueless management

Pros

Great it company that serves financial companies with data, analysis and market pulse through their indexes, risk models and portfolio analytics. It offers high degree of freedom during your work and the organization is relatively flat.

Cons

As of now there is no teaming policy just adhoc trainings which results in slow progress in your career.
