Pros

Earlier (2 or 3 ) years back there was good work life balance. Good pay hike for laterals.

Cons

Salary hike poor for existing employees. Management bias present. Currently there is less work life balance. Talented employees are not recognized. There is no freedom of movement within projects in the organization. There is bias and favoritism in appraisal.

Pros

Awesome workculture with very clear hierarchy. The senior most management are the best I can say in the IT industry. They plan and execute it well and with atmost transperancy. Best place to learn and build the competency.

Cons

The salary paid and the appraisal growth for the existing employees are comparatively very low. They recognize new employees with a big hike but very less recognition for the existing employees. This frustates and becomes a major cause for attrition.
