Pros

Free food and cab. Fast growth in terms of number of employees. Filling some words as i dont have anything more to mention.

Cons

Many. The company setup in chennai is a clear case of Nepotism. Most of the Leaders have brought their close contact or previous company couleague one level down and rule the team with groups. There is no transparency and HR is totally helpless in this situation. We are still seen an as an internal outsourcing company. We are not allowed to take global roles and no onsite. No work from home and no work life balance. Even for the short onsite trips you wont get per diem or allowance. Worst performance rating system as they dont value or cosider what you have done and do lot of favouritism for their known people. Please dont join if you need some self respect and individual growth. This management does not know how to handle senior members. No application development work happening here, mostly suppport work. Not a great place to work in short.

Pros

Company is growing and has good to excellent R&D scientists

Cons

Company is poorly managed and reorganization in some departments is constant. Management acts like a parent and chooses favorites and pits a group of employees against the least favorite employee. Management often has little knowledge of job or function but needs to micromanage and control. There is a level of micromanagement here that defeats the purpose of hiring experienced employees.
