... Cons - Technical person pulled into irrelevant KPI e.g. getting more business - Salary is not at par with market standards. - Sometimes people get stuck in one project and switching to another one is difficult. - Promotion to the next level is a very difficult and painful process and not very transparent.

0 job security. Every quarter there is a list and people are laid off. Managers threaten their team if they dont do work within given time they will be laid off - like literally. Worst company on this planet. For NCR location official working hrs are 9 hrs but manager says you will have to enter 10 hrs only in time sheet and be available as per 10 hrs shift. Also, off records managers says you will have to stretch and work for 24 hrs and weekends otherwise you might be laid off. Never Ever join this pathetic company even if they offer you 100 crores ctc. I have seen 15 years old loyal employees and star performers being just laid off like that. And yeah most importantly - South Indian people driven company, especially Tamilians. They just rule this company, so much regionalism, for north indian people very hard for them to survive
