Pros

benefits like health insurance, spends 15000RS PER YEAR ON HEALTH

Cons

Manager doesn't give any reviews what to do and what not to and saying everything is good but behind the back they are sending complaint to directors they take seperate meeting for indians and don't take meeting with other US employees coworkers. They don t give any task and knowledge transfer and expect you to understand everything by yourself about all the infrastructure and whats happening in the backened. They itself not able to bring any project and then expects you to to work on other profiles which are not at all relevent to what you do

Pros

I truly enjoyed working with the small group of folks that I worked with every day. Outside of those people, I have never met a more incapable group of "leaders". Also, the perks are decent, but I'm making more now and getting equal benefits for a company with goals and one that I can work a normal week and not travel nearly as much.

Cons

This company missed their window big time and made us all believe they were doing something special. All you have to do is take your head out of the sand and realize that there are THOUSANDS of companies doing the same thing and some doing it much better. The stories that are told to customers to get them onboard are unbelievable. It's hard to see that they are virtually lying about their "competencies" because one person on the team may have done something similar years before. They cannot deliver on those "promises" if they don't let what little technical talent they have, actually build something, rather than selling them out to the next customer! The business model will never change here because they are so far in debt. If you really think you're going to hit it big as a shareholder, why have so many executives come and gone? I left because the cluster of this company letting their best people walk out the door (like me now! :) was too much to handle and there was NO where to develop into anything more than a cash machine for the business.

Pros

Training, 100% Free Healthcare, AWS ReInvent, West Coast Architects and Engineers, supportive colleagues.

Cons

Startup with no formalized employee career path, ridiculous ambiguity, extensive travel, absentee management on lengthy vacations or weekly trips, scrutiny and bean counter-like approaches in time keeping while practice management gets away with vague record keeping.
