Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent company for women and freshers. They provide maternity leaves for long time and there is a nice day-care center for children. - Flexible work timings, hence one can maintain a great work life balance. - One can get good work experience in Finance domain by working with their Investment Banking clients such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs etc.

Cons

- 9 hours policy sucks. Managers are quite skeptic about about the performance of an employee, if he/she is not maintaining 9 hours. - Salary standards have gone down and not upto market standards now a days. - No new projects in last 2 years since 2011.
