Pros

Excellent workplace in Trivandrum, if you are mallu, then select it blindly. Good work life balance, mostly you wont get much task. Company is 22yr old, I have seen employees with 18, 20 year experience, so kind of job guaranty for who work from beginning as fresher, not for midlevel joiners. Very liberal in timesheets, if you are in good understanding with your mangers, you don't even need to submit leaves.

Cons

Mallu politics, hike will be low. HR policy will be confusing to HR itself regarding compensation. I have seen very few who gone onsite, literally countable who went, mostly senior mangers. If your joining for onsite please forgot it. I worked here for 4.5 years , 3 yrs worked in support project where I never did any task, literally I allocated in project with no work or worries. But I realized that is bad for my growth and, with lot of struggle I joined development project, there actually I worked little hard and learned some technologies and quitted the company.

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
