Pros

1. On time salary 2. Subsidized food (not tasty though) 3. Free cab 4. Paternity leave of 4 months for male employees

Cons

Here comes the elephant based on my experience in 'SETTLEMENTS' project. 1. Highly egoistic people in projects including EDs, VPs, PM. And their ego war will cost your peace of mind. 2. You will have to work on lot of legacy model and you don't get much help. So have to sail on your own. 3. Old tech stack and adoption of new tech at the pace of snail. 4. No clear requirements, finalization takes eternity and you have to keep changing till you breathe. 5. Designing a solution is also nightmare. 6. No care about process, for so called Tech ED processes are for loosers. 7. They have a mess and they are proud about it. 8. The final call is taken by leadership in US/UK. 9. They have a high attrition because of all the above reasons. 10. Many people left after seeing no changes that will bring some respite to their work. 11. Terrible hike and God know when you will be kicked out of the firm. 12. Extreme partiality between FTE and FTC as minimum as open appreciations.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
