Pros

Campus is good and shopping store in campus

Cons

If you are a developer and don't mind working 12 - 16 hours a day on technology stack defined by higher leads. The management is busy working on timelines, planning and re-planning of the project and very less time is spent on actual development. The day is filled with multiple meetings and hardly any focus is provided on people management or technical problem in-hand. You will strive here if you are a boss pleaser. Your boss has a final say on every decision. Developers are never given an option to voice their opinion unless you sing the same song as your manager. Saturdays and Sundays become normal working day on a regular basis since you will be preparing data for Monday morning meetings. Personal life goes down hill since the expectation is to be in office till 8pm and drive in the traffic. Adhoc meetings without the right audience is the trend, but everyone needs to know as to what happened in the meeting. You will be questioned the next day about the status! The workplace looks like one big dining table with chairs so close to each other that you can hardly stretch your hands. A lot of importance is given to contractors who have been working on the project since ages. A product company by name but the model which works is not better than a service company The job description says - "70%hands on and 30% people management is must." but in reality you would be attending meeting 90% of your time and working on project plans. Bring in your own food, except for breakfast everything else tastes bad.
