Pros

If you wish to earn money by corrupt means (involve urself with your Leader specially Life Science division). If you are Tamil by birth If you can bow your head down to toe of your boss If you have ever worked with your Boss's ex company If you wish to be a part of your Boss's Parallel Running Business in same domain You can sit at your home and enjoy your brunch etc. by just praising your boss all the time and bullying your team member. Just BE Blind . Just Dont Argue anything with 40 - 45 years old bosses specially Tamilian seniors and Enjoy your Meeting Lunch and Dinner.

Cons

You will be unfortunate enough to join Life Science division if you fall to any category Preference wise :- Being Non-tamilian, Being Non-south Indian, Being Self-esteemed person. and If you will try to do real WORK and bring business with help from technical staff (who are not gonna leave this company until they DIE) No Work Ethics, No Discount Structure, No Perks and Benefits Criteria, Non performer will become achiever if he is close to your boss, Top Class Reverse Racism in surprising Indian Context Don't Expect anything from HR because they are more worried about their Increments. Every single purchase of PC, Printer, involving vendor like Taxi or Stationary Supplier have a High Level of Corruption. Same grade people will be getting different travel and lodging . your colleague may be running parallel life science business with help of your boss with great conflict of interest.

Pros

I honestly can't think of any good reasons to work here. The supervisor for the position I held was supposed to be an engineer and was in charge of building maintenance. He had to ask me how to install a mailbox on the brick wall outside of his house. He had no clue how a three way lighting system worked. Need I say more?

Cons

There are too many to mention. The pay was so so considering the amount of work involved for the position I held.

Pros

Great employees, Good products, and customers appreciate that you go the extra mile. Salary is decent

Cons

Severely understaffed and high expectations of upper management make work-life balance non-existent. Stress levels are high as no proper training is provided, and you must learn everything on the job. There is nowhere to move up in the company either.
