Pros
The review is about PGS, the Pune IT arm of PFG. Good work life balance in Pune. Good policies like cab transport, can take leave whenever you want. Many have misused the flexibility so that they did'nt need to work for years. Direct interaction with US team helps in gaining confidence to take complex work. This company is a very good place for those who want a very relax lifestyle , and don't care about career growth.
Cons
Poor management. The IJP system is flawed and is aimed to promote sycophants. Growth in terms of knowledge/system is discouraged. Participation in outside work (music, songs, dance, birthday songs) is considered more important than key projects. There are too many managers who dont understand why they exist and they pretend to know more than the HO folks. The so called L3,L2 (managers) get some one or two words from HO and then try to act as though they know it all. A level called AVP was created to "move up the value chain", so more festivities were executed! This company is good only for those who join managers and above. For any other level, team lead or developer, this company is only good, if you wish to take a break for 2 years from typically Indian IT service companies.
