Pros

Good for Freshers or Engineers with lesser experience who are targeting a company for short term and with good package.

Cons

A hire and fire kind of company who is there just to make quick money. Had bought our group of more than 2500 people from all around the world and shut it down within 8 months, showing short sightedness of management. They've been laying off regularly in other groups also, asking people to leave in 1 hr

Pros

good quality work and open work culture

Cons

this is one company where new college graduates are paid more than existing employees for the same position. i am not talking about average performers, but well rated performers. so be careful before joining. politics between teams sometimes is very frustrating. recognition is also team dependent. many times you see below average performance getting recognized depending on team. many senior managers behaves rudely, when ball is in their court. don't be surprised if you hear "we are paying you to work" from director's mouth directly!
