Business Outlook

Pros

You will get your salary on time. Moderate work pressure but your colleagues will help you a lot. Good management. Hard working people will get recognized pritty fast Have cab facility. You will get to learn so many new software.

Cons

I'm working in Bangalore and the company is situated at the end of it. It's too far from Bangalore city near to airport. Hikes are very less in percentage. No bonus even if they get a huge amount of profit. Administration is poor. After learning new software and you reach a senior level you will get stuck. After that growth is difficult.

Pros

Wages, benefits. Great collaboration between employees. Fantastic product. Top Management is trying hard to change culture- but does not seem to know how to tackle it.

Cons

Finance acts as bean counters not as finance partners. There is so much money wasted to feed the finance beast with zero benefit. Physical environment is old and not very exciting.
