Pros

Satisfactory working environment. Good third party training. Good profit margins for company. Low Bench Strength and most people get directly placed on project.

Cons

Poorly skilled higher management and HR,puts profit above anything and everything . No confirmation about joining day. Freshers getting hired after protests from 2007-2013. No transparency about joining location . Joining locations are frequently changed .Mostly north people work on southern states and vice versa. Spends more on advertising about Employee first policy than actually practicing it. Worst among the top five IT MNC in India in terms of employee satisfaction. Low salary for work done. Delayed and poor appraisals

Pros

nothing, really, nothing appears to be functioning in this organization from onboarding over working, billing, offboarding

Cons

I have not been paid for my work after almost 90 days now. There is no formal explanation or refusal, but they are just sitting it out it appears, pocketing the money that has been paid on my behalf by the client.
