Pros
  1. Work-life balance. Most projects have no pressure at all and are long-term, cool projects.

  2. Chances of an onsite opportunity if you stay for a long period.

  3. Flexible work timings. No mandatory 9-hour stay.

  4. Work from home.

  5. Best maternity leaves guaranteed for women employees. They stay away from the office for more than 2 years too.

  6. Less inspection from management and more freedom in life.

  7. Internet fees will be reimbursed, and the medical policy is good.

Cons
  1. Low salaries, just like other service companies.
  2. No recognition from managers, poor rewards.
  3. Bad leave policy; managers hardly approve long vacation plans.
  4. No transparency in ratings; appraisals are carried by impression rather than work or talent.
  5. Not many challenging projects.
Advice to Management
  1. Don't simply say no to vacations or leaves. Be transparent in appraisals.
