Pros

great bunch of people to work with. Leadership is good, knowledgeable people to help you around. You are given lot of space to work and flexible timing brings a real meaning here. since the company is not as big as the other Indian IT companies there is a sense of bonding among colleagues. Multiple offsore delivery centers bring a lot of stability. Credible ratings by forrester and tech 100. At one point of time it was te highest pay masters in India before the financial services company came in with their huge pay packages. Still is one of the best pay masters in india

Cons

top management has not been clear in their thought processes, need to focus on clear cut strategies
