Pros

Great facilities, really! Beautiful workplace, and very employee friendly. Employee friendly policies. Liberal leave and work from home policies. Great cafeteria, and gym!

Cons

The Global delivery center created in Hyderabad is not quite living up to the expectations of the employees. Neither the employees working there, nor the global businesses to whom they are catering. There is a misalignment between "requirements" of the job and the "recruitment", or the "skills" actually possessed by the recruited employees.
