Pros

Can be a research project of great prospect. The three months I've spent here and in the days to come I dont expect anything good from this company.

Cons

Oh, I could go on for days. Right from stinking washrooms to tasteless food. But the ones that astonished me were: 1. They have no place to accomodqte those people already working for them and still they hire peopleevery week. 2. They are very clear with their policy that they will not provide you with a computer. 3. They pay you 7% less than other top notch IT service companie like Infosys, TCS 4. Absolutely no entertainment for you at office. The only " entertainment" is a miniature lawn with half of its green receding away. 5. Training provided to fresher software engineers are well below par. They cannot even accomodate every batch inside their own office premises. 6. Getting tagged to a project after training happens really fast but only GOD knows when work will start. 7. Top management is worthless, middle management is even worse. 8. There are always more people sitting inside the library than there are books or computers. 9. Learning curve is poor 10. They require every fresher to sit for a silly certification exam, the fees for which is borne by the examinee and is reimbursed through a lengthy bottlenecked process if you pass the certification. And the list goes on.....

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.
