Pros

- Good campus' with almost all facilities anyone can ask for - Brand value, that still is good - Started to focus on products, platforms and solutions for next phase of growth that is good (will be interesting to see how it works out / executed though).

Cons

- Quite a few changes in top mgmt recently, probably becoz of which new wins have slowed down a lot - Too much focus on maintaining margins by CFO/top mgmt, due to which new wins are instead going to TCS, cognizant - Inflexible policies like 9.25 work hours, certifications, no powers given to managers even for claims reimbursement (any exception needs to be approved by CFO office), no realistic work from home option (when other companies are pursuing this actively) - Variable pay components (there are 3 variable pay components, BTW!) of total salary is too high compared to other comapnies like TCS, cog etc, even for non-mgmt / junior-mgmt. - Variable pay is given in the range of 50% for many quarters by now, which makes take home salary significantly lesser than shown on paper. This is even though profits are increasing. Which is not the case with competitors. - Too much cash reservers which is not being put to good use - Unfriendly top mgmt (as seen in recent town halls meetings after no hike declaration) - No transparency on how variable pay %s are calculated.... so many times was this qn asked to mgmt and its a generic answer everytime that "its depends on how much we exceed the targets"
