Pros

Good work life balance Flexible timings, good attitude at workplace Good variable pay outs

Cons

A person is given a job irrespective whether the Job demands him or not. Due to slack in the IT market, most of their projects are either Support or enhancement, quality of work is depreciating day by day Management doesn't care about employee needs or his demand for better quality of work. There is no rotation policy for onsite opportunities, one who gets lucky remains lucky and unlucky ones never get lucky. Mangers believe themselves to be GOD.
