Pros

The only reason for headstrong to work was great peers. But not the level has gone down and it is no better than general TCS, WIPRO & Infosys. Infact it is worse due to its very small size. Nobody in the company grows. If u want to join in at junior level and grow then forget it.

Cons

No clear policies. Policies like minimum 9 hours clocking is there. The managers are in capable. It is a company that if you will have to follow ur managers as gods, then only u can be happy in this company otherwise u will have be fired or u will have to leave the company

Pros

- Some projects have genuine scope for growth and learning - Newly provided transport facility for employees (you need to pay of course)

Cons

- Do not expect rewards or recognition if you achieve good results - Recognition and Promotion depends on who your manager is, not your performance. - Office politics has taken on proportions where it now stifles employee growth. - Inconsistent vision leading to a change in the direction of the company every year. - Dont expect an industry standard salary (I can quote our country head as saying that a high salary is a bad thing because it "prices you out of the market" ) - Zero management transparency, which results in blatant false promises. - Close to zero focus on employee welfare or employee care. Lip service and superficial benefits like a gaming kiosk in the office do not add any value to employee's quality of work/life. - Policies can and do change at any time, always without employee consultation, and always for the worse. - Be prepared for your mailbox to be bombarded with general attitudinal advice, do's and dont's in life, workplace and everywhere else.
