Pros

Fantastic company. Great atmosphere, great people, true focus on deep client impact. Unrivalled learning experience from the moment you join all through your career

Cons

The work is intense, clients are demanding. Not particularly a 9-5 job. Not a problem as long as you get satisfaction from your cases and as long as you are doing well, but can be tough in difficult client settings

Pros

They have very good office infrastructure, office lunch is free. Awesome working environment.

Cons

You have to oiling your manager & colleagues specially if you are working on third party. You can't give your opinion on any topic or you can not argument with them. If on any day you argued with their native employee then you will be fired 100%.
