Pros

The only reason for headstrong to work was great peers. But not the level has gone down and it is no better than general TCS, WIPRO & Infosys. Infact it is worse due to its very small size. Nobody in the company grows. If u want to join in at junior level and grow then forget it.

Cons

No clear policies. Policies like minimum 9 hours clocking is there. The managers are in capable. It is a company that if you will have to follow ur managers as gods, then only u can be happy in this company otherwise u will have be fired or u will have to leave the company
