Pros

Joining salary is high as compared to similar companies.

Cons

Work Culture: 1) You will feel as if you are in graveyard shift. No fun nothing at work place. 2) No restrictions on dress code however they emphasize on formals. 3) Desks are never cleaned unless you explicitly request for it. 4) Team interaction is minimal. 5) HR is dumb and is of no use. It never listens to your grievances. 6) You get one piece of sweet on festive occasions. You feel like you are a beggar. 7) Only 1 printer available for entire floor and that too prints are to be accounted for. 8) No AC in pantry and cafeteria..ACs switched off after 6pm. so u have to sweat and work if u stay late. 9) Canteen food is terrible. 10) No work from home facility 11) You are monitored all the time by some IT mechanism regarding what activity you are doing on PC. Work related activity need to be atleast 8-9 hrs or else it is considered as leave. More emphasis is on these type of waste activities instead of actual development work. Appraisals: As high as 4-5 %. More than what petrol hike is every month. Transportation: Late night transports are not available. When requested for it, admin says arrange yours and learn self-defense in case u stay late. Even the evening transportation does not cover all areas in the city. Buses are pathetic and bus fare is high.

Pros

Relaxing, mostly stress-free environment. Everyone that you talk to is friendly. They have very flexible work hours in general. I can take time off randomly and it will be fine, although it will be unpaid time off if you don't use vacations. As long as your work your 8 hours, you are fine.

Cons

Company doesn't match 401k. They don't pay all of time off due to customer factory shutdowns (They pay many of the days for the holiday shutdown; but are petty with the remaining few days). The summer shutdown is unpaid if you don't have any projects to work with. They do not inspire personal development with the lack of training. Generally no overtime. If a customer requires us to stay for a few hours, we take time off instead to compensate. There can be favoritism involved on performance reviews. Without bosses being in the customer locations along with the employees, sometimes there is a disconnect on what the employees are actually doing; The performance reviews can look biased one way or the other.
