Pros

Nothing Really. If you do not have your own identity, you may try to use its brand to some extent. 9 months Maternity leave. Paternity leave is also fine.

Cons

1. Being a health-care organization, it never give importance to its employee's health. 2. HR team/ TA team are totally misrepresenting and unqualified. 3. While hiring, they tell all the lies about the Job Title, Team, Responsibilities, Salary, etc. Once you join, everything will be different and nobody will redress your problems. 4. HR managers are completely gross negligent a work. They collude with Managers and oppress the people who are facing problems. There is no integrity at all. 5. Not at all a place for professionals like CA, CS, CWA etc. These TA teams are misrepresenting the professional bodies also by portraying as Manufacturing companies. But, In reality, they will ask you to do back end accounting work. 6. Managers are unqualified and donno how to handle people. 7. Attrition rate is very high due to misrepresentations. 8. The main reason for this behaviour is CEO, CFO and other Executive management is looking into Chennai GBS and the local leads are taking undue advantage of that. 9. They will torture you in Notice Period to hell.

Pros

1. Reputed Name 2. Work Life Balance can be okay sometimes 3. Healthcare Industry Hardly anything else could be appreciated

Cons

1. Hostile situation for Employee in the company and especially once you put down your paper. Management takes it personally. 2. Some of the worst compensation policies in the current IT Industry, 3. Communication is completely zero. Neither Managers nor HR will inform the important guidelines or decisions 4. Higher or even immediate Management is hardly reachable; you can hardly set 1:1 meetings as they are really not approachable. 5. Even after extending and slogging, hard work is rarely acknowledged and appreciated.

Pros

Pay is decent. Excellent 401k.

Cons

Management is very toxic. No one knows how to do their job and they refuse to give the employees a proper billing system to help make the job easier. Everything is haphazard, especially with management. They continuously pile more and more work on you with everything being the priority. Management never responds to your emails and micromanaging is rampant. The manager has a very condescending attitude and very toxic then wonders why team morale is low. If you ask questions about how to better do your job you are penalized. Management is not truthful, although they claim to be *transparent. You are given unrealistic goals with little or no guidance.
