Good salary and benefits, also employee appreciation through distribution of goodies makes it worth. Also, it's approach towards eligible candidate placement with a matching requirement.

Dislikes

No Drawbacks, but an allocated project tenure or a contract tenure for a eligible and work acquainted candidate should atleast be for a Financial year or a complete term.

Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.

Dislikes

1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.

Dislikes

Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.
