2. The location of the company in Hyderabad is nice, located in the HITEC City.

Cons

2. No employee wants to work for this company from heart. The company traps employees and do not let them go easily.
3. No guidance is even in work from seniors whatsoever.

Advice to Senior Management

Organise some trips

Pros

Majority of the projects are from Microsoft. So you get to work on the same tools and technologies used at Microsoft. Good for freshers out of college.

Cons

High work pressure environment. Employees are expected to work 15-16 hours a day and dedicate their life upon joining this company. Zero work-life balance. No respect for employees. No company culture. High attrition as most employees get frustrated and leave. My advice to new hires is think twice, no think thrice before taking up an offer with them.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees with dignity and respect, both the ones who work there and those who leave for better opportunities. Also please stop writing self reviews on this site. They will not help your reputation.

Pros

great training
makes us good enough and competent
switch to other software giants is easy
inhand salary is pretty handsome

Cons

a large amount of work
no work - life balance

Advice to Senior Management

give a day or 2 off
rather increase your employees if work is too much

Pros

High integrity workplace with no non sense management. Management encourages innovative thinking and leadership and is easily approachable. Good performers get recognized quickly. Rigorous training from day one which allows maximum learning and growth. Young and adaptive work culture. Transparent and employee oriented policies.

Cons

Need to be highly motivated to challenge yourself for learning new technologies and delivery client projects on them. Best talent pool brings in highly competitive environment which is also good in a way that allows employees to challenge their limits.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep demonstrating support for innovative thinking and personal development.
