Pros

Good work environment. Good benefits. Some projects have good technology and scope to learn. Investment banking domain in some projects, so learning will keep you occupied (if you like it, though). Not too much work pressure most of the year; sometimes you will need to stretch, but that is the norm in every IT project, so no complaints. Great place for developers as they get higher salaries and other monetary benefits.

Cons

QA management is spineless and they think it is an overhead for the project. They don't care for QA folks.

Decision making is US-centric, so your voice will not be heard much.

High level of politics (norm in every company, I suppose).

Commitment to India operations is questionable (won't be surprised if it closes in 5 years).

Growth will be painfully slow at the bottom level but faster at SPM and above levels.

Advice to Management

Good work in many regards, but please don't make promises you cannot hold to new or existing employees. Treat QA as an internal part of IT, not like third-class citizens.
