Pros

Nothing that i can think of. Yeah. the management never cares about time. After all the manager himself does come an go when he wants. Work from home when they want. So in a way… no one expects you to be on time and such you can work when you want to.

Cons

-No accountability. -Partial treatment. -The person who runs the office in one of the cities thinks he owns the company. Hires foreigners at much lesser salary. -Hires his family members and freinds who know nothing in this field and promotes them to Directors / Project Managers / Engineering Manager with no experience or qualification. Works when he wishes and he is the person who decides who is to be promoted or hired or how much appraisal has to be done. -Vindictive attitude of the Manager. The moment you give a suggestion, that goes against the managers wishes, you are doomed. You will be targeted for no reason. -No HR to ask about the above things an employee faces. Nothing much action is taken by the HEad office in San Diego. The Head HR never responds to queries.

Pros

The culture is what makes PVI stand out from its peers. It has got one of the great interworking relationship between people, and the employees are extremely supportive and friendly. Literally no politics, and a great work environment. The senior management appreciates ideas from the team, and there's great freedom to work in different technology areas, the company focuses in.

Cons

PV management just doesn't know how to make use of the PVI office. The office was opened in order to support PV's customer programs, but it turned out to be its simply a development support center. There is just no roadmap for the India office, it purely serves as a support center with adhoc tasks flowing in and out of the office. At a time, when the whole world is eager to invest in development centres in India, PV just doesn't know how to make use of this office in a best possible manner. Career growth is quite limited, since being purely a support center, there isn't much visibility for folks working in it, and not much attention is paid towards its career roadmap.
