Pros

- Nice offices and perks - Nice work life balance

Cons

- They can terminate a project suddenly and without any notice even after 40 plus % of the project is completed successfully. Don't give any reasons for this. - Does not take action against people who don't perform well, play politics and only talk smoothly. - Has non-technical managers to manage technical teams. - Most employees are contractors, maybe about 60-70%. Too much competition and less team bonding. - Has a lot of useless and boring meetings. Content is useless and there is no action.
