Pros

Good culture Facilities are good but I feel they will detoriate as the head count grows. Nice people to work

Cons

No Promotions. They hire someone with 3 yrs of experience as an associate and then he has to wait for another damn 3 yrs to move to the next level.Whereas someone who has joined as a fresher gets promoted in 2 yrs. So practically a person with 5 yrs of experience is working uner someone who has just 2 yrs of experience. The compensation that they give is not transparent. There might be someone with much lesser exp than you and earning a lot more than you do.
