Pros

Very good facilities Hardware is usually not a problem at all Pay package is comparable with other industry players Insurance cover is one among the best

Cons

With the tedious interview process, I thought I will work on some ground breaking technologies, and was not satisfied with the work there. And politicking, unreasonable, unfair middle management is something of a concern. Reviews and ratings are decided even before discussing with the employee, leaving the employee entirely at the mercy of managers. This leads to a lot of attrition and refilling positions is very slow creating more trouble again for employees. First level managers are chosen without any criteria leading to chaotic environment.
