Pros

Big Company- which is recognized in the market. Many verticals and if the associate is interested in a particular vertical he can make a move

Cons

Very steep hierarchy Favoritism Regionalism Different business verticals treat themselves as own business units and an associate moving between verticals is treated like a new person

Pros

Known for Strong DW&BI Practice and BFS domain Lot of Onsite oppurtunities, especially in DW Most of the BFS clients are in Fortune 500 list Good Career Prospects ( Other than technical stuff, we would be exposed to Quality process ; Proposals ; Assessment ; PMR / Auditing ; Training Academy ; Lot of training materials) Location - Most of the Chennai facilities are within City limits (GMR,Perungudi,TCO,Porur DLF, Tambaram MEPZ) Flexible Work Timings ( 40 hrs a week ; Intime/Outtime not linked to Salary ) Easily Approachable Managers / Senior Managers ; No Micro-Managing

Cons

Appraisal - Lot of people quit because of very poor Appraisal system that you have. Promotions - Promotion chances are bright, if your reporting Manager have good rapport with Senior Management ; Exit Interviews - Exit interviews are happening just for formalities ; Irrespective of no of years that we serve, Exit Interviews happen just 5-10 minutes. Salary "Basic" Component - Basic Salary is very very less, when compared to other organizations. For CTC of 10 lakhs, basic would be just 2 lakhs ( 16k per month ).
