Pros

Excellent people in L4-L7 development team , indeed collaborative, enthusiastic. Extra curricular activities were a joy for employees. Honestly, this is a great place for a fresher to start, whoever loves systems nitty-gritty designing & algorithms.

Cons

Nobody in the management buys your development goals. They have ample bugs to tie you down to work. Promises a lot of development activity at the start of every sprint, but ends something monotonous. The management need to take action on what they say at the onset. Bonus is a really bonus here, they can bend anything to deprive you of it. A lot of people has developed the habit of working late into the night, whereas spending most of the daytime in some meetings and calls. The development centre at Calcutta has a superficial HR team, failed to understand what are they meant to solve, only came to interact with them when the company had a shortfall in their bonus distribution or during people leaving the company.

Pros

Have worked with great folks in a few sites that do work and play hard - like what they do, share well, open. Most managers seem to really want to work hard and share the success. Pay is good. Relaxed environment. New CEO in late 2014 looks good and will see what shapes up. Communication has gotten better. Some nice benefits in lunch perks, free soda's but many other companies are doing more perks in hi-tech.

Cons

2014 was a mess of a year for the company. One CEO ousted, interim CEO and then new CEO. Layoffs summer of 2014. Losing good folks to other hi-tech opportunities over past months. We are in a interesting niche field but many others looking to get in and play. 2015 will be a make or break year so I would wait a year to see how things go. Some reviews here mention negative reviews by folks that have been laid off but those that I knew that were laid off got good new jobs and are happy where they are now.
