Pros

Long term Onsite opportunity is good.

Cons

Senior management is not being practical, go for wrong solutions when there is a problem in a project :). Only finding it to be an overkill. Fully loaded Contracts for Clients with no vision/equipments(mainly quality of resource) to deal the conditions. Work-Life Balance is pathetic. Came here thinking that Work-Life balance is good but only to know that it is more a problem now days... Work Culture is pretty bad, Senior Management are institutionalized to think that more the time spent on office more the productivity.

Pros

Work/life balance, onsite opportunities, easy job transitions, learning opportunities. Work/life balance is good, atleast in the US. Onsite opportunities are ample, and the company is really growing, its good to be part of it. I have had the opportunity to work in multiple varied technologies, without too much trouble. Gives me a balanced perspective on technology. However, it is said that there is a move to make employees trained vertically more than horizontally. I guess that would lead to loss of this balanced perspective in the future. There is also a vast online library that comes in handy if you are interested.

Cons

Opaque middle management, mainly around performance, hikes and perks. General direction of the company is provided by the top management.
