Pros

-Nobody sticks here for more than 1 year, so if you stick, you’ll get promoted -If you want to see honest reviews, please go to page 2,3,4 etc. good reviews are posted by internal recruiters just to attract some talent - if this is the only offer you hold and are desperate, then only join

Cons

-You will loose all the good skills and talent you have acquired previously - you will compromise your communication skills as majority of the people here don’t know how to communicate - lack of good clients, the clients mostly use Genpact folks as contractors for getting the work which their direct employees refuse to do

Working as consultant doesn't feel good

Business Outlook

Pros

Can't think of any. Never felt I was part of any company.

Cons

1. Working as consultant with Headstrong is the worst decision I have made. 2. Client's won't care for you and managers at Headstrong are the worst. There is no communication between consultants and management in Headstrong. 3. Work hours are very long and stressful. 4. If you are experienced then you have nothing to learn.

Pros

No work at all if you want to enjoy on bench then join this company.

Cons

No recognition, managers company, worst manager ever!! they will fire you whenever required, no job security at all. if you have another offer even from a startup than don't join this company. they will ruin your whole career. They ask freshers to sing bond for 2 years but they can fire you anytime just by giving lame reasons. it has happen to many people I know many of them personally.
