Pros
  1. For a fresher, if you want to prepare for CAT, GMAT, TOEFL, this is the best company to do that. You will not have any workload for the first 6-8 months. You will get salary as well as a bonus.
  2. It's the best company for people who just want to earn decent money without doing much work.
  3. The firing rate is low, as employees themselves leave the company as soon as they get the chance.
Cons

Readers beware.

It is going to be a bit lengthy.

  1. For a fresher joining here, it's almost suicide for him/her unless you want to prepare for higher studies. If you think of switching after working here for two to three years, you get to know the reality that you are screwed big time.

  2. Much attention is given to extracurricular activities, just like college festivals.

  3. HR make big promises to you during interviews, but beware, not even a single one of them get fulfilled.

  4. Very few development projects. Eighty to ninety percent of projects are of support and maintenance.

  5. No value add to your career. In fact, you even forget what you learned in your colleges or previous companies.

  6. Lack of proper focus, lots of mismanagement. Tier-1 and Tier-2 college people are put up in support and maintenance projects.

Advice to Management

Please don't play with freshers' careers. Don't hire them if you don't have the work to give to them.
