Pros

Has a good number of fortune 500 clients. Have many good and fun loving people all around - both at onshore and offshore. Depending on the client and your luck you can participate in some of the fun activities happening within the company. Same is applicable to getting into good projects with good learning opportunities. Though going downhill, it still has some values and cultures (atleast it pretends so). Approachability to managers any level above you (though end results are questionable). If you are willing to take more responsibilities you will get it and if you are really smart you will most likely get most of the credit out of it. Being able to do a good job with good communication along with good measurable KRA settings is important.

Cons

Employee resource allocation is really bad - if not really careful the possibility of getting pushed into a bad project is very high and at the time of appraisal the favor we did will get ignored very easily. No or minimal salary appraisals - and we can come across all sort of funny reasons (and may also hear about some mysterious normalization which no one knows if and when it happens). So whoever is considering this company better do a good at salary negotiation before accepting any offer. The company has surprisingly high number of dumb or bad managers – especially in the middle management level. A majority of project management mostly confines to task tracking and not much real planning - so project success almost fully depends on the technical team. The company being just another underdog consulting company trying to play and survive in the big league most new projects seems to be under-quoted in terms of time and/or billing amount - and the entire teams bear the brunt of it. And partly this is the reason for a sub standard compensation for most of the employees.

Pros

The hiring process is quick

Cons

DO NOT TRUST THEM. If one team member does not like you they will fire you. They do not like Americans. They hire directly out of India not even considering US candidates. This company is a staff augmentation company and nothing more. SWEAT SHOT. It is one of the worse companies I have seen in this century. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM YOU WILL GET ------. They are extremely disorganized and do not know how to run a business. They have no project work at all. Even in there large accounts. All of the people over from India are treated like slaves. It is absolutely aweful.
