Pros

Focus on sales and customer relationship encorages employees to go the extra mile and try to understand the problems faced by the clients. Medical and other benefits are nice, especially compared to most of the other outsourcing companies focusing on India

Cons

Salaries are pretty low, and financial incentives are not high enough for exemplary performance. Financial juggling to inflate revenue and profit margins. There is a risk of being slotted into one industry domain, and freedom to move between domains is pretty low. Might struggle to retain associates when the markets go up again.

Pros

1. Flexibility in choosing the role. 2. Also, once you have proved your value, the organization shows great flexibility in adjusting your personal constraints into the system. 3. Conservative and strong finance team ensures that the financial strength of the organization is always intact. 4. Also, in a climate of economic downturn, one of the few companies where a competent employee can work without the fear of layoff or salary reduction. 5. Option of multiple geographies to choose from due to the global presence of the organization.

Cons

1. Promotion and bonuses tend to get impacted by the large number of associates in each designation involved. 2. Easy to get lost, especially for management graudates among the technical crowd.
