Pros

1. If you know how to impress your manager by only talking and don't want to work, this company is for you.

Cons

1. As per market pay on paper, monthly take home is very low (very bad if you want to get Home loan) No flexible benefits 2. Give leaves, but there are so many rules to avail those, no carry forward, no cash reimbursement 3. NO FLEXIBILITY in Timings, you have to stay for 9 hours daily, (not average, you stay 11 Hrs on One day and if you leave with 5 Hrs completed next you need to apply for Half day leave) 4. Some (not all) of the managers take your comments personally (not professional) 5. Support kinda work. 6. No or very less Travelling, very stingy in travelling expenses (can not use calling card or recharge skype for calling home) 7. Software Engineers (especially outside Houston) are like second class citizens, treat you like people from third world. 8. No annual bonus or even small gifts. 9. Very very low chances of Transfer. 10. No Work from Home 11. Not Employee friendly, no job security, you work hard they are happy, you miss sometime for any reason and you might get fired.

Pros

You'll gain more knowledge from their training than anywhere else. More opportunities to move around in the company

Cons

If you can't follow policy or safety rules then it's not the place for you. It is a lot of time away from home.

Pros

Overseas training opportunities Career growth (even very slow at times) Some opportunities to work overseas

Cons

Management is very cautious about increasing salaries. You have to have some unbelievable performance in order to get some more money. Even if you show very good job performance they do not rush to boost your wages. They try to find some excuses in order to delay your salary increase. Managers get annual cash bonuses if they save more money and the best way to save the money is to cut it from employees' salaries...very efficient way indeed :)
