Pros

Scale is great, opportunities are great and with some recent changes even better. There are some tough problems to solve and I'd argue the titanic is shifting direction.

Cons

Still haven't shaken the whole Microsoft way of doing things - it's getting better. Think waterfall with some pockets of Agile/adaptive methodologies all the way from planning to delivery with monster release nights

Pros

Good travel benefits. Somewhat relaxing environment depending on teams. Some teams work on new technologies (most of teams do not)

Cons

Very distracting and crowded start-up like workspace. Too much politics for technology groups. Extreme micromanagement using agile scrum & crowded space with no walls. Unprofessional behaviors from managers. 12000 people company.. but runs like very big company (100k+ people) Lots of personalities ruining team work. Spending too much resource and time on maintaining legacy technology instead of innovating. Trying to mimic Microsoft benefits but very cheap benefits in reality. Because of high turnover, virtually everything has to be paid back if you leave the company within certain number of months or a year.

Pros

Compensation is good. Cab facility is available. Free Lunch. Freebies like you get around 10K Rs for travel every year. If you prefer Mac over Windows you can have it.

Cons

1. Looks like a BPO setting inside there are no cubicles. 2. Like around 10 employees have been fired till now (less than an year of setup) who did well in their previous jobs and were from good companies. 3. Company has no spirit and fun to do anymore this has costed them in their quaterly profits too which is gone down. 4. If you are a technically saavy you should not be here as Technology teams make no decisions, decisions are by business and Technology teams are just support groups. 5. Unhealthy competition of work as lot of vendors are converted to full time employees who prefer the vendors company counter parts over full time employees. Same is with the growth.
