Pros

There is no positive side of this company. We join any organization for 2 thing. First one is good salary and second one is good work. But there is lack of both here.

Cons

They have no project at all. There existing projects have been going and no new project is coming. They hire for bench and if you are not able to get any project you can be fired. But when they don't have projects then how we get any project !!!! So please friends , don't join.

Business Outlook

Pros

Back in 2008 HS was very nice company. Healthy atm. Good leadership. However this has changed big time since the leadership was not able to fullfil their work.

Cons

Worst increments. HR is only concerned about managers not the employees. You have to be fortunate to find good manager if stuck with some, you will find your self in hell. No employee satisfiction
