Pros

- Amazing people; very smart - Good people and project management opportunities - Good starting point for fresh graduates

Cons

- Senior management is not transparent at all - Expats come to the India office and not always contribute to the office growth enough while still pocketing huge paychecks; the salaries for Indian employees at the same level are very disproportionate compared to this while shouldering the same responsibilities - Review process is very bad. Promotions do not always account for merit and even an outstanding performer needs to wait for the "right tenure". - Senior management is not working towards getting local consulting projects; the management is happy netting in the profits by working on US projects - Management has no clue where the office focus should be; some tracks that have been introduced lack leadership and vision - Quality of new recruits has gone down significantly in the recent past

Pros

It’s was ok, very very busy and the pay was low > the expectation were high

Cons

I don’t think I have any cons since the company was good then and I heard they’ve gotten better now
