Pros

I did not find any pros. I would be lying if I say 7 PM free snacks. Even the beggar will get more quantity of snacks compared to what they give.

Cons

Many of you will think I am writing this review out of frustration. But please please read it and think thousand times before joining this organization. I would say, even if you don't have any other job offer, don't join this organization. Following are few things you should know : 1. Totally unfair system. No email access . Email access is given to only few associates and not all. Despite having 6+ years of good work experience I was not eligible for email access. You feel handicapped without email. 2. If you have worked in a reputed , well known organization earlier(BNP, JPMC,TCS, Infy) they will happily hire you and offer big package. But your in-hand salary will be very less compared to what they claim in the offer letter. Plus, you will have hard time adjusting to their horrible work culture. 3. No comp-offs, very few leaves. And if you punch-in after 9:30 am , half day leave is deducted. Even if you work sincerely for 12 hours a day ,company does not respect that. Having worked in very flexible environment in my previous organization, I had very hard time digesting this "9:30 Am" horrible policy. 4. No solution architects. People who claim to be technically sound do not know a thing about design. They just keep providing patches for the already broken product. And if anything goes wrong they will play dirty blame games. 5. No onsite opportunities. They have created hype in the market that they have many international projects and stuff. And like me, you might get fooled thinking if you perform well you will get onsite opportunity . But no. Apparently , there's this new term they have invented called "Product knowledge". And people who have been working here since long are supposed to be called "Product experts" which they are not. They will go to onsite and get all the work/POC done from the offshore team. And take credit for the success of the project. 6. No respect for people who actually work.No respect for knowledge. Rude and arrogant people everywhere. 7. Promotions. Encouragement. Awards. - People who actually work will never get any of these. I know even after reading all this there will be some people who would want to join this organization just out of curiosity. ( I was one of them and I still believe it was the worst decision of my life.) If you want to spoil your career, join this organization. Good luck.
