Pros

Has opportunities on almost all technology project and multiple locations across the world. If someone is interested to work in abroad then he is free to apply for job to any location once you are on global bench. Process is very streamlined and HR team is very proactive and helping.

Cons

Salary is a bit low and not as per market standard.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
