Cons

1. After Wipro acquisition hikes are according to Wipro policies. 2. Wipro wants Appirio Practice to be a One Billion practice, so they are working on cost cutting like less hike, less promotions, more than one project for one guy. Again it will help in learning 3. If you are in touch with Wipro management you will see Indian IT environment around you. 4. HRs are not aware of Wipro Policies. and HRs are very busy in team calls, and events. 5. Some folks were fired for submitting fake bills without warning. Although it's unethical to submit fake bills for reimbursement but there should be a warning.

Pros

If you are the kind of person who just wants to talk rather than getting things done yourself, then this is a great place as everything is played politically. Good platform for freshers to get experience for a year or 2.

Cons

Too much politics, favouritism, so called culture does not exist in India. People in management/managerial positions have reached there only because of their rep with India leadership and does not possess neither human skills nor technical skills. People can't even speak fluent English which includes not just Manager's but Directors of this company as well. If you make noise about anything, HR and your manager will work together to get you fired on the grounds of so called "cultural" misfit. India office is like a family run business where everyone's everyone is onboard regardless of skills. No work/life balance, some people work 15-20 hrs a day including weekends whereas others don't even have projects to work on. HR/Finance/Transportation are the worse department you will ever encounter, for any issues they have a standard answer of raise a ticket with vendor which get's no result. Losing most of its valued employee's due to all these issues as people in good books of managers are given multiple appraisal/promotion in a year or 1.5 yrs whereas, performers are given peanuts with false promises. Not recommended at all for people with 2-3+yrs of experience.

Pros

1. Awesome workplace; facility, location, cafeteria, cabs etc 2. Lots of opportunity at every level of career. 3. Best tools for developer experience, project management and work management. 4. Awesome people to work with 5. Lots of global opportunities 6. Easy to switch between projects/teams however one has to approach to right person 7. Easy approachable top Leadership within Appirio 8. Lots of training and learning opportunities 9. Company spend a good amount of money and resources on employee engagement; team parties, company events, silver lining, sports events etc I saw a couple of negative feedback after merging with Wipro but in my opinion, Wipro has opened a lot more opportunities for Jaipur hive and the following facts are in favor of JDC. 1. There are many more global opportunities now than ever before 2. More options to move between the teams and explore other technologies/verticals. 3. A number of training and learning opportunities. I attended two best training of my life after becoming part of Wipro. I am grateful for that experience. 4. Solution and Innovation group has done an awesome job in the very short amount of time; lots of lightning bolts, products and Appirio Nigel In my opinion, slow positive changes are being ignored and a small negative incident becomes news very soon.

Cons

#1. In my opinion, Getting your hands dirty has been part of Appirio culture but these days developers are crying to get the right support from more experienced people in the red project. #2. . Awesome people at Appirio US are leaving a company. #3. One may not be valued if not on people management career track.

Pros

I was working as a Software developer in Appirio and worked here for a good 2 years, I learned so many things which won't possible for me to learn from any university or google. I love the overall work environment from the day I started coming for my interview and until my last working day. I never felt that I am working in a place where people do office politics at work. Yes, I always get cooperative co-workers and brilliant heads to guide me.

Cons

I honestly not found any major cons there but yes can work on transport services for employees
