Business Outlook

Pros

Smaller firm, entrepreneurial attitude, friendly senior management, high quality of hires and above average pay package. Also helps that the firm is concentrated on providing services to the Securities and Capital Markets sector which is usually ahead of the curve in terms of technology

Cons

Attitude and goals of the company have changed significantly after being acquired by Genpact. No longer a great place but ok for sometime looking to spend a few years of their career.
