Pros

- So called flexible login times

Cons

Below points are purely related to FMS division in Bangalore: - Micro management at its best (even your rest room times are noted) - Zero career discussions (these are considered as waste of time) - Unfair billing to client (even a task that is supposed to take 5 minutes is exaggerated to the extent of 5 hours) - Fully excel & data based copy paste work (they hire CFA's & highly experienced candidates so that client can be billed heavily) - Closed minded management which doesnt accept new ideas - Absolute lack of creativity in the well cemented seniors. - Zero professionalism. (employees & managers discuss ratings, appraisal, hike, bonuses etc on the floor - even in the presence of the management. Also it is considered OK to creep on the next person's PC to find out what they do & report to management) - Horrible infrastructure (the one that doesnt allow people to work peacefully)

Pros

I don't see anything positive

Cons

Salaries are super low. On most days people are made to stay beyond 8pm minimum. Even if they have an emergency they are never allowed to leave even at 6pm. No cabs provided for employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy, mundane task-oriented job. Schedule is stricly 9 to 5. Never an hour more Fairly low-stress environment

Cons

Very clicky culture where a few "chosen ones" will invariably move up Incredibly unfriendly for newcomers, no guidance, you're on your on Never had a set of goals, so you will never achieve such goals Bonuses are a joke.
