Pros

- Good Salary. Thats all. But you need to sacrifice many other things on the cost of that.

Cons

- I wonder how so many people have given such a good rating. Yes, if work is the only thing in your life, this may be the place for you. - Quality of work is extremely bad. Its all about coordinating with other teams and getting things done. You will hardly get to use your creativity. - There is panic and chaos all around. No office culture. People shouting, listening music on high volumes. - Situation at Chennai is more bad. Very bad facilities. Non-ethical place. - People just come here for a brand name and start contemplating for a change within few months. - Freshers may still sustain. But extremely bad for people who have come from a company with decent work culture. - Have a long list of negatives. But I hope this much should be enough for prospective employees to take a decision.
