Pros

- Global presence - Lot of opportunities to move around and explore your interests - High corporate growth and stability - Strong executive leadership

Cons

- Like any consultancy, if you are in the lower ranks then you will be treated like a slave - Until you reach middle management level, salaries can be up to 50% under market standard - Poor work-life balance - Management withholds petty discretionary benefits such as reimbursement for late night calls with offshore, compensation for overtime, proper seating arrangements at client sites etc., causing unnecessary stress - Although it's a global company with HQ in the US, over 90% of the workforce is from India. This creates a peculiarly Indian work culture that is not for everyone. Others feel excluded.
