Business Outlook

Pros

Financial Domain if you want to learn.

Cons

Please make sure you wont get distracted with Headstrong.com website which states that its a CMMi L5 company in 2002.Its a CMMI Level 3 company, so all the guys from big companies please think before coming here. Apart from that, its a client driven company and management also works on the same basis.It doesnt have any pillar of its own. You are handed over to client and he is your Godfather for everything.Its a kind of good as well bad, but from company perspective, its not good as it doesnt let the company grow as its a client driven organisation.
