Pros

swanky office, aseptic environment, excellent HR practices till August 2012

Cons

Top heavy organization. Whimsical CEOs and upper management. CEOs and Directors come & go, some forecast unrealistic prospects and go on a spending spree making a fortune for themselves in the process, while others resort to extreme retrenchment tactics. The average employee continues to be at the mercy of their line managers. Leaves are there on records but you can't enjoy them. Superficial atmosphere. Incompetent managers who save their backs by blaming their subordinates. Highfliers don't give a rat's ass for what happens to the organization. They just treat it as a launchpad and milk it dry. The school editorial particularly the ELT department is full of unhappy hags and wenches who are busy scandalizing each other. The Higher Ed is dying. No more is there dignity at work. It has one of the best sales force in publishing and education services. But the company's policies like acquiring sick companies at high prices and shifting loyalties is weakning its very foundation.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
