Pros

I joined as a Project Engineer in the VLSI division of Wipro and the training program for entry level engineers was nothing short of excellent. The best thing about working in a service based company like Wipro is that you will get an opportunity to work on a variety of projects. If you feel that you have stagnated into just one position, then business needs permitting, you will be allowed to shift projects if you want. I found the middle-level management to be quite understanding in this regard. However, the senior-level management will need some convincing to go out of their way to accomodate such a need.

Cons

I got the impression that the senior-level management is focussing only on Bangalore and neglecting other development centers. My Technical manager was based out of Bangalore and he would visit us just twice or thrice a year. Secondly, there were not many projects that would come to Pune. The reason stated was lack of technical strength, btu I think there was more to that. Thirdly, the pay-scale was WAY below industry average. Agreed, Wipro is a service-based company and operated on lower profit margins, but the pay was less compared to even Infosys and TCS.

Pros

Good Brand and not so bad salary. Good for junior levels. Brand is very recongonised and has a competative salary compensation.

Cons

No communicatiion with higher management, killer instinct and attidue lacked in management and not caring attitude in company's policies. Specailly if you working in lower cadre you dont have any reponses from top management. Its also good for people who dont like to work and enjoy playing politics at top management

Pros

There are many very good managers in WT - if you happen to work for one of them then it a good experience. There are a host of onsite opportunities allowing one to make some good money in the process. You get to work for clients in different functional areas in multiple technologies so the exposure is very interesting. RSU - stock options, you have to be around for a while but if you get some of them RSU's then you can still strike gold.

Cons

Many many incompetent managers who got promoted just because they stayed with the organization for a long time - absolutely no clue about project, customer or people management. Long working hours - 14-16 hour days is the norm in most WT locations, even at onsite locations in the US. When you are in the US you have to deal with an offshore team also which means calls at night..long, very long calls! Below market salaries in both India and the US. Many policies are way out-of-date. No transparent communication channel to senior management.
