Pros

Free cab facility. Employee stock option

Cons

Way higher variable pay. Pune office is cost cutting center, hence piece of work that US people reject to do is typically delegated to Pune office Talent is not at all appreciated, rather discouraged

Pros

Not a single. Since i joined not a single day i felt not leaving this company, And just because it is a column named Pros i don't have to write something good .

Cons

1. Not good people. 2.Controlled Environment , you manager will decide when you will go for tea or lunch or break. 3. Worst policies. if you fall sick and take a leave informing your manager on the same day you fell sick, be prepare for salary deduction. Yes you need to plan when you are going to be sick before taking leave else bad rating and cut on variable pay. 4. No learning, just clerical and data entry work. 5. Unnecessary overtime and no returns or perks for that.
