Pros

If you are a Yes Boss kind of guy, then this is the right place for you.

Cons

Yes Boss kind of culture in CSS Group Bangalore only. You can have growth only if you have Yes Boss attitude, fake and loud smile and some leave/fired whose position you can take, not because of your talent and caliber. All non technical guy has become manager because of Yes Boss culture. Their main job is to track when you come and leave, after home do you login or not? till what time of night, would you be online in IM for just in case someone from US may think of ping you? Few people types mail from office and send from home during late night time just to show that they worked till late night and are highly appreciated one. More focus on when you come and go, rather than work. Focus only on visibility not on work quality. Even worse than service industry. Lot of favoritism within the group, whoever butter up his/her manager only those will be promoted, chances to US visit. Earlier they used to hire from IIT/NIT, now only from respective manager's college. Only bug fixing work is being done from India, good work does not come to Bangalore at all as most of good technical people have already left. Company policy is there to do work from home. If someone is doing work from home because of some personal reason/medical reason, he/she will be asked for n reason and finally end of less hike/bonus whereas few of their favourite people are working from home since couple of years and enjoying good salary. On paper they claim about diverse culture and all. Recently few of women employee has been fired and harassed or in the list of firing list as after maternity leave their productivity may get impacted.

Pros

Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

Cons

Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
