Pros

Brand Name, Brand Name, Brand Name

Cons

Where do I start from? 1. It's the most shallow organisation unlike how the world perceives otherwise. The folks are stuck up and don't embrace laterals at all! 2. Small sized projects reflects the maturity of the offerings, the longest tenure projects are about 12/24 months. The team nor management are prepared to operate medium and large scale accounts but brag/hide fallacies and practices by claiming the existing brand name and insane billing rates 3. The processes are so flawed, they hire resources for increasing headcount and soup them into accounts which has no relevance to their prior skills 4. The management in Bangalore is biased and overlooks every concern of the laterals and threaten them with feedback sessions than resolving. Very unapologetic and HR won't respond to any emails/pings unless it's your exit email 5. The good folks for which TW was TW have either quit or disappeared, few handful who are empathetic will relate to your problems and hostility but are helpless 6. The learning curve is almost nil except for dealing with bullish attitude of the folks. And it disappoints furthermore to be part of the agile practices followed here
