Pros

Brand name. Larger pool of projects.

Cons

Unfriendly HR policies.

Promotions are really slow and based on politics and not on performance.

No salary hike when onshore.

Frequent manager changes.

Unfair appraisal and ratings.

Advice to Management

Give more value to employees and look at promotions seriously. Divert the time and energy spent on trying to avoid giving promotions and use it towards better HR management. Remove the HR function from managers and reallocate it to people who are trained in HR functions. Managers are too powerful in this organization, and this has led to widespread corruption and blatant violations of BCG's by managers. BCG should not be applicable only to junior and senior engineers. Managers should be held in check.
