Pros

Good benefits 15 VL 15 SL, Annual Merit Increase, Secret Bonus, Annual Performance Bonus, 14th month pay, VL&SL encashment

Cons

Very weak leaders, all they can think about is blaming others and covering up their mistakes. They came from Accenture, which you know what the culture is like. That is why almost everyone is leaving the company.
