Pros

Excellent systematic training in technology and processes. Several months of training with full pay and without any kind of bond for freshers. Had a good rapport with immediate managers.Average age is less. so youthful atmosphere. Excellent place for freshers.

Cons

Has become bureaucratic. HR frames rules without considering ground realities. Has a mandatory 9.5hrs/day irrespective of whether you have work or not or whether u had worked 12/13 hrs per day in the previous project. Earlier there was no such rule. everything including compensatory off , work life balance depends on clients. Earlier promotion was from developer, analyst and project manager. Now has several layers inserted so everyone can be promoted without having any change in the kind of job being done. very little chance for people expecting technical expertise since only managerial roles are available for experienced people.
