Pros

I have been working here for 2+ years after my graduation and I have learned so much about technologies. The work culture is fast paced and hectic but rewarding. There is no minimum work cap for onsite unlike big IT companies which have a minimum 3 year cap. You get access to various devices like iPhones, iPads, Windows phone etc to work with. This is the place to be if you are crazy about mobiles and mobile technology.

Cons

Overall they regard much for employee welfare as there are no coffee machines, cafeteria sucks also lack of any events of any sort or team building activities. Also there is no game rooms, atleast a TT table or Carrom Board should be there. Also Parking space is limited in DLF and it takes ages to find a parking.

Pros

Big-name clients under your belt, mostly friendly, supportive coworkers

Cons

Offshore teams halter the design process by butchering designs in builds and PSD files, no sick days and very few days off yearly, poor creative management, unmanageable expectations by leaders who promise big to clients with very short timelines, setting designers up for failure and resulting in mediocre work at times, verbal abuse by upper management to employees often, lack of respect for women, apps cannot be properly designed and executed in 2 weeks, more like a few months
