Pros

Competitive culture.

Company pushes you to some extent.

Timely promotion if you do your job nicely for your manager.

Year-end hikes ranging from 0% to 16% max (yes, you may not get a hike).

Free transport, though not so good in Pune compared to other locations.

Exposure to clients/projects from different industries and different technologies.

Better work culture compared to Indian IT companies.

Innovative ideas available.

Good infrastructure with good-looking offices.

Cons

10 hours of working – forget about work-life balance.

It's hard to get out of projects as the PM threatens your appraisal.

Fighting for promotion can be a tough scene sometimes.

They keep you hanging on a US visa.

Less visa filing in case you are joining for onshore opportunities. There is a policy that new resources are eligible for visa filing only after 18 months.

TLs are puppets of managers; they don't have any power.

Advice to Management

Take care of hard-working staff and don't promote your favorites.

To leadership in India: Please be more reachable to your resources, no matter what their level is.
