Pros

Good projects, they have better projects compared to many other similar companies Making significant investments in new emerging technologies Overall they still have environment which is not rigid, people are empowered and events are planned throughout the year Responsive onshore teams and plenty of scope to innovate in delivery

Cons

Extremely fragmented organization you can see lack of synergies amongst the SBU, there is not much focus on industry offerings . Too many acquisitions hence CG culture is lost in all these migration journeys . Globally the company is known to provide great work life balance opportunities, in India they have introduced some changes in 2017 which makes working in India difficult. Focus in on spending 9.5 hours in office even if you are currently not involved in delivery. productivity does not matter at all. Work From Home is common for European colleagues but if you raise the topic with Indian manager they will react as if a huge calamity has struck them Crazy travel policy , while I can understand no business class for Managers was shocked to see that there is no business travel option for Senior Manager, Associate Director and even Directors. Considering they are usually in 40+ age group perhaps first company where they force their senior teams to travel economy Shocking increments and non-existent HR : Extremely poor increments, it wont matter whether you get one or not difference is not much (4 - 6 % increment can be considered very good). HR is full of incompetent and inexperienced business partners. There is no concept of employee connect No EA support for Directors, so they are ok with you to spend all the time managing mundane tasks and run pillar to post for administrative activities. Again not a standard practice compared to other peers in the industry Not much focus on training and development of skills or developing deep skills to create business differentiation for customers In Mumbai they are consolidating their operations to Airoli hence if you are staying in western suburbs and add the 9.5 hours mandate you would have no time left for your family.

Pros

Company provides training on soft skills and technical skills prior to placing on a project.

Cons

Client contracts can end unexpectedly so you may not get to work on a project long term and change from project to project.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
