Pros

good client base....if utilised properly, you'll get very good exposure to learning the client business... good Onsite opportunities..

Cons

1. Does almost anything offered. No core competencies. 2. Resources are not trained well enough and very soon becomes Jack of all trade, but Master of none. 3. Most of the projects are production support and application maintainence because of severe lack of business knowledge. 4. Managers are known only to manage 10-12 people, talking to them during appraisal, moving them from one project to another, writing SOWs and managing project invoicing - even you beat them to fits, still most of them know very less of the latest technologies/happennings and business knowledge. 5. Treats employees at Onsite as low-cost labors...pays as much as to make them feel like a beggar.
