Pros

Long term Onsite opportunity is good.

Cons

Senior management is not being practical, go for wrong solutions when there is a problem in a project :). Only finding it to be an overkill. Fully loaded Contracts for Clients with no vision/equipments(mainly quality of resource) to deal the conditions. Work-Life Balance is pathetic. Came here thinking that Work-Life balance is good but only to know that it is more a problem now days... Work Culture is pretty bad, Senior Management are institutionalized to think that more the time spent on office more the productivity.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
