Pros

excellent colleagues that work together to help customers even though morale is bad compensation not bad stock purchase plan

Cons

corporate greed demonstrated when increasing work hours, charging customers for the extra time but NOT compensating employees for the extra time they are forced to provide expectation to work many hours above normal and on many projects simultaneously non existent bench management to allow employees to have down time between projects to update skills and regenerate energy for next assignment layoffs called "temporary" to avoid payment of severence reduction of benefits each business unit/dept operates in a silo....

Pros

Flexible work schedule, great life-work balance, good benefits, good business model

Cons

Not exciting company, not for somebody who is looking for a dynamic company, too many positions offshore which keeps compensation low. If possible projects are stuffed with people from offshore locations.

Nothing to boast off

Pros

Work - personal life balance good pay depending on the skills work timings are flexible Peer support is good

Cons

No support in terms of professional or career growth. No proper and regular discussion/feedback on the work you do. Dump all kinds of work irrespective for what you were hired for. Very odd timings to adhere to for most of the projects. Layoffs happen without a proper discussion or feedback process in place. Managers have the last say in almost all the matters - parallel HR role is a dummy.
