Pros

One of the fastest growing IT solutions provider based on off-shoring model

Cons

The benefits are limited, and in some projects you have to have real good relations with your supervisor to move ahead in your career.

Pros

Salary on Time – Because paying employees on time is somehow a perk now. Good Team – Misery loves company, and thankfully, the team is great at bonding over shared suffering.

Cons

Zero Respect – If you enjoy being treated like a replaceable cog in a broken machine, you’ll thrive here! Kiss-Ass Culture – Hard work? Nah. The real skill here is perfecting the art of corporate bootlicking. The higher you smooch, the faster you climb.

Pros

Lots of jobs inside many large companies (Nike) Pay good salaries, relocation benefits.

Cons

HR dept is mostly done by Indian workers. Emails are not returned same day. Takes multiple days to handle requests that would be handled same day in other companies. They do not back their employees. They do not have power to appeal with the companies you work with.
