Pros

Great people, lots of opportunity to advance

Cons

They seem to bid very low on projects and then scramble to find resources and overwork teams in the process. Lots of disorganization in project management between departments.

Pros

The Roth 401(k) option was nice to have. There is a lot of work to do and this could have been a very good thing, however, there were significant downsides. My coworkers were good people and I really liked my manager. After all, we were in the same boat.

Cons

My job description changed the day I joined the company and I was not going to be doing the job that I accepted. I would not have accepted the job I ended up doing. Work hours are very long due to the heavy workload and an unwillingness to staff projects appropriately. Travel was excessive so my work-life balance went out the window.

Pros

Good Brand Name. Thats it!

Cons

There is huge list of cons as follows; 1) First of all the salary is like a stipend, which can't satisfy you anyway and even scarsely increases every year. 2) Regarding work, it's not acceptible anywhere across the India,as it's a new field and nobody does something real maneuver (cleaning of data for reviewer). 3) Sr. Management works for the employees who use butter a lot. 4) Workload is overwhelmed when compared with the shekels you get. 5) Even, the maximum and most beneficial dept, but always seen with a poor mentality,obviously(being record holders for lowest salary).
