Pros

There is not even a single pros about this company.

Cons

1. You are allowed to take only one day leave per month. If you take more than one day, you need to compensate on Saturday/Sunday. 2. There is no employee benefits except salary. 3. Managers and Tech leads will behave like CEO of this company. You will be questioned even for a single minute late. They will track your entry and exit time of the office. 4. Worst parking and and always overcrowding at cafeteria. 5. You have to maintain 9 hours weekly average time. If you missed it, you will be questioned and they will send warning mail. 6. There is 0% of job security. You will be relieved/terminated at any time. I have come across lot of my co-workers who are forcefully relieved by the management. 7. They never hesitate to humiliate in front of the team if you make any mistake and they wont recognize if you did a great job. 8. Zero work life balance and you may work 11-12 hours per day. You wont have an option to refuse it.

Pros

Salary on time Company has Fortune 500 clients . It will look good on resume for next job hunt.

Cons

1) No concept like Work life balance . I worked in team where I have to work 3 full weekends in just 2 months even after slogging 10 hrs in weekday . 2) all projects are hectic and always require weekend support even after slogging in weekdays. 4 ) i got finally relieved when project got over. But in next project , same hectic hours was demanded by new manager and I had no chance but to resign and come out. There is no proper planning and work life balance for anyone.
