Business Outlook

Pros

its a different company and always good to get exposure to international community. It is highly RnD and work focussed.

Cons

No fun at work place. The managers sit on contractors heads and peep into their monitors as to what they are doing. There is no freedom for contractors with respect to work or personal space. I wouldnt recommend anyone to work here. Some of the controlling managers are all over you and just want to run the whole show at an everyday level.
