Pros

None. Though I have heard good feedback for the Bangalore office but the Noida office is really bad. In case you stay close to the company with no career aspirations then this is the company for you - Since the GENPACT takeover few changes have come in place but it is still very far of being a professional company

Cons

Almost everything from projects to management to even the infrastrucutre - Almost all the projects I heard of are running somehow with most of the peope unhappy about the company. - The cafeteria they are proud of "Baithak" though nicely made is really dirty and no one takes pain to keep it clean.

Pros

No pros I should say, those who want to work very hard, those who want to manage everything and code as well, it is good for them.

Cons

1) No clear roles and responsibilities. 2) Weak leadership model, here leadership means getting the person know what is thier job and they are not doing it seriously. Nobody will listen to your problems in a ratonal and practical way. 3) No focus is given on employee satifaction and behavior, you might see you supervisor shouting on you quite often and nobody helping you. 4) weak HR, lower salaries and lot of disparity is salaries, a person sitting besides might be getting double than you. Overall a troublesome experience.
