Pros

There are some great people there from acquisitions.

Cons

Business strategy appears to be acquiring companies and then slowly trimming numbers via layoffs. The best and brightest jump ship and look for something better. Eventually the acquired companies can no longer function well and their products are barely left on life support. Then it's off to the next company to acquire and then ruin. Everyone is constantly afraid for their jobs. Layoffs are frequent and without warning. And new hires seem limited to India. Raises and promotions are few and far between. Don't expect to be adequately compensated for the workload. Morale is terrible. The best and brightest do not stay here long.

Pros

cab and food facility is good. leave planning is good

Cons

1. monthly 1:1 meeting scheduled and from there no appreciation, only they torture you to do the more task. 2. No proper planning and documentation, they put you random task expext to complete in a day. 3. mostly they forced to worked on saturday and sunday without comp-off 4. they wants complete the task before 2 months of deadline, so they can show off to US guy like how they complete early and reduces the cost. 5. every quarter frequently layoff is going on, not sure when you will be the next. 6. to much politics in higher level (specially Director, Manager and Leads) 7. for new joinee, next 2 years no planning for hike
