Pros

Good package Flexible culture and some really brainy and techie people Cutting edge technology to work on

Cons

The management does not have any vision on what they want to achieve They want to build capability on technologies which are hot but they have no clarity if the sales pipeline is there or not Loads of people on Bench for more than 6 months to 1 year simply eating the company network bandwidth surfing Facebook while many people slogging out on the projects day and night and even over weekend Not good human capital management Non Effective utilization of resources The Gurgaon- Bangalore partiality and distinction leading to most good projects being pushed to Gurgaon even though lot of people may be on bench in Bangalore Staffing team acts more like a contracting agency and pushes people to projects without capability and liking assessment. Worst part all staffing team members sit in Gurgaon so Bangalore is only virtual calling centre

Pros

Amazing culture, at least in this office. Catered lunch twice a week, and constant events and treats and free snacks. Experience can be very balanced in terms of work/life. Great benefits, including generous PTO policy.

Cons

Broader company has poor strategy, and clearly doesn't know what to do with the workforce they have as AI lowers the client pipeline and rates. Roles are only plentiful in the US if you are in Product or Project Management, as other capabilities are being offshored to save client budgets, and/or are being collapsed so that employees must vibe-AI their way into competency. This leads to sapped morale and poor output at the client level. As the company has been struggling - and as promotions become less likely to be approved - some of the most passionate folks in the company have left for greener pastures, or have been unceremoniously pushed out. This in turn has led to a weakening of office culture. Your work experience can also be variable - depending on seasonality, client pipelines, and role, you could be so busy you don't have time to care for yourself or so bored you are feigning productivity. More than is normal at other consulting companies, the workloads seem incongruent with who's being hired or not.
