Pros

Brand name adds charm to your experience.

HR is supportive if you play by the policy.

Almost in all major cities. Good offices.

International clients. Opportunities to go onshore.

Cons

New management has started screwing things up. It is turning into austerity mode all of a sudden. AC outages, cutting relocation compensations, and monitoring working hours nowadays.

Getting out from a project or location, for that matter, is very hard.

Internal politics, lack of transparency in the appraisal process... well, that is practically everywhere though!

Once you screw up, it will take you down all the time. Almost no second chances.

Salary is pathetic. Variable pay takes a big chunk out of it and is based on half-yearly performance and project budgets.

Advice to Management

Cherish your workers. Don't treat them as cost centers or some machine.

Stick to the brand mantra; do not mix with the crowd. Cost optimizing cannot come at the expense of brand dilution.
