Pros

Brand with name in markets. Annual HR activities. Sports support. Cab facilities. Only good for freshers and senior management.

Cons

Low increments. HR concerned for senior management than employees. No new projects. Happy with what old ones. No appreciation for work by managers. If you are not aligned to client projects search new job ASAP instead of wasting time.

Good salary, awful experience

Software consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer quite a nice compensation (not the best out there but certainly not bad). The work time is flexible and can be adjusted based on team and project requirements - well, up to a certain point.

Cons

Experience vary greatly among project teams. I picked the short straw and had an awful experience with how management treated the whole team. Management can turn into angry slave-drivers at times. Mid-level management (project team leads) are fine and would try to work out the pressure from above but that is not enough to make things ok. The development team i was involved in were working 16-24 hours for several days in the span of a few weeks occasionally for 6 months that i was surprised we survived it.
