Pros

The vacation schedule was nice

Cons

Management was a joke and didn't have a clue of how to effectively provide direction and support. It is governed by the "good ol boys club" if you don't drink their Kool Aid then you won't be successful.

Pros

This is a great place to work in general. The work/life balance and flexible scheduling is great. The retirement plan is great.

Cons

This is not a great place to be a software engineer in many departments. The discipline is not valued. There is a belief that they don't have to be a great software development organization since they aren't selling software...but they still have to support the stuff they create! Much of the entry level development is done by contractors in some departments.

Pros

* Salary is the only reason to join this company * If you are lucky, you dont need to work at all and you will get all the benefits.

Cons

It's about Pune Division * Bad work culture * You can be fired at any time (it happened with 2 of my friends) * No job security at all * In a same team, few people will have * this company should be your last option
