Pros

Big Company- which is recognized in the market. Many verticals and if the associate is interested in a particular vertical he can make a move

Cons

Very steep hierarchy Favoritism Regionalism Different business verticals treat themselves as own business units and an associate moving between verticals is treated like a new person

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
