Good pay package. Bus service is also ok. Some people get onsite. 2/3 options of canteen in Hijewadi Pune location.

Cons

Need to work like slaves. No work life balance. I saw some ladies employees working for 14 hrs everyday for years. Total mismanagement.

Pros

Excellent Knowledge Management framework in place. Middle management guys are a joy to work with, feels that you are working with a group of friends. Opportunity to learn new technologies, if you are upto it.

Cons

Salary is too low,as compared to guys working in other firms with same work exp. You are treated as a resource to complete the project & there is hardly any value addition to your profile, unless you fight for it. Promotion is only for those guys who lick their Manager's ass. The work force managers, are nothing but hell personified. The moment you are released to bench, you are asked to get transferred to Chennai, irrespective of your personal commitments. Onsite oppportunities are limited to employees working in Chennai & Pune. Preferential treatment to lateral joiness rather than employees who stick with the firm for years. Too much South Indian influence. Majority of promotions & salary hikes, onsite opportunities are given to South Indians.
