Pros

If you're Indian, its good because 95% of people are from India or working from India.

Cons

Poor account managers driving team crazy. Very poor delivery heads. Want to work in scrum framework but don't know about scrum practices. Treat client as God. Hiring mistakes, you will be hired by someone and you will be someone else's team and they might not like you and ask to terminate you.

Pros

There are honestly no pros to working here.

Cons

The hiring practices are deceptive. Your recruiter will force you to agree to a title and a salary before even going to the client interview. I ended up with a different job title which deserved a higher salary than the one I was offered. I’m getting paid $30,000 below my market value. Communication from HR is chaotic and confusing. Management likes to babysit and micromanage and it leads to a toxic work environment. You’ll get 5 paid holidays and 15 days PTO annually and that includes your sick days. Honestly, the company is exploitative and I get the vibe they are allowed to be this way because the majority of their workers are seeking visa sponsorship and will put up with anything for that visa sponsorship.
