Pros

Work life balance Infrastructure (Magarpatta) Cab good recreation room thanks giving gifts

Cons

Which one to pick ? It was one of the best place to work certainly but things started to change from 2014. You can not learn a new technology, you can not grow, No onsite, No competitive salary , worst HR , worst management it can ruin your whole career if you join after having 2-4 years of exp. Basically they do not have anything to offer to the people who wants to learn. The scenario in QA is the pathetic they hired some senior consultant to monitor QA and that was the decision which is going wrong against PGS. When you hire mid management/higher management people from Service industry they can damage the culture of a captive unit which is happening now. And specially Indian management is ruining the name of THE PRINCIPAL. Time has not yet gone if controlling power remains with PFG still they can save the brand value of PGS else it would become worse sooner,. People do not get promotion for good work but for all other odd thing (you can imagine the worst thing you could do to get a promotion)

Pros

Principal offers really good benefits and perks including both a 401(k) and a Pension. They have an excellent culture that puts people first, and have a strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion.

Cons

Principal is pretty up-front that their salary is at the mid to lower end of the market. As an IT professional, there wasn't a consistent volume of intellectually challenging work for me to engage in.
