Pros

If you have a good manager, it will be good place to work. He can guide and support. The person will let you know about your performance

Cons

Do not expect proper guidance. Swim and learn. Too many politics. Prepare for to average 11 hours a day to satisy the line manager

Pros

Health Insurance. But thats about it. For the amount of stress they give employees, probably they realise a good health insurance is mandatory.

Cons

Not a very healthy environment to work in. They don't set realistic timelines. Management excepts employees to be available round the clock . Quality is not a priority at all. All that matters is if the deliverable is made on time. It is of no concern if the deliverable is a garbage. Employees are not given enough respect and are expected not to have a personal life. Management is very weak in how they handle the things. They have lengthy meetings on "Lessons Learnt" but it is the Management who has to learn a lot from the mistakes they made previously.
