Pros

Has a repute of a paymaster, which is eroding day by day. Flexi timings and Work from home once a week. Rest is same as regular small sized IT companies Decent place if you are on delivery projects, but if you are part of internal functions and projects kindly avoid.

Cons

No Processes/Polices in place, rules are set and changed as per top management liking. They have a No Surprise policy, but will shock you at every stage. All the control is only in the hands of founders, Look at the company ratings trend, from the last year it has been very negative Highly competitive and experienced people are hired and then forced to not use their experience, brains and skills, thus creating a hole in their career growth. Most of the senior management is highly incompetent and are mere puppets, they have reached here as they stuck to the company since its start-up days. Delivery heads don't own P&L of their BU, none of them is even PMP certified If you are not on delivery projects but part for internal projects you may be shouted at for providing a brilliant idea, and you may be given the same idea after 6 months by the management. Hire & fire policy. Your appraisals will not depend on how you have performed, but will certainly take a hit if you don't keep the top management team and their punters happy. Projects are not at all challenging, mostly maintenance & deployment projects, PEOPLE FROM BFSI DOMAIN DON'T WASTE YOUR CAREER HERE. You may be a Java programmer and be asked to code in .NET or HTML/JS or just go onsite and do some coordination/excel stuff, if you say no.. u'll be kicked in no time. You will spend more time doing repeated training, audits and presenting your plans and achievement than doing actual work. only 24 leaves a yr, including sick leaves and only 8 NH. This is low standard. In-spite of being a mid-size org they don't have EPF policy, you can opt for the same but the company contribution will be deducted from you CTC. No components in salary to help you save tax like LTA, Car allowance, option for Food coupons, etc.
