Pros

1.Work Life Balance,only for people who do not want to work at all and saved till they get fired someday. 2. Free alcohol parties :), every 1-2 months in some teams. 3. Good Salary but lot of disparity in salary as well.

Cons

1. Unprofessional : Very strange organization, looks like they are not IT professional but running a Shop. They fire people on the false the feedback of their favorites that he/she was telling something against you :) How fool they are that they trust and not look how someone is performing. They are least bothered about performance. 2. Corruption at Peak: They hire engineers on contract from a company, who gives them just 40-50K Rs per month, but Aristocrat ILT members ensure to give same engineers 1.8-2.0 lakhs Rs per month. I never heard contractor company is playing on so huge margin. This is open corruption. 3. Alcoholism and Gamble: if you take alcohol & participate in gambling, then you have bright future here. Every year, they have reserved one day outing, where they do all this stuff(family not allowed for this reason) 4. Few ILT member does not know english but getting salary more than 50 lakhs :) 5. PM do not have work at all. 6. Some PM are very unprofessional, who keep asking the salaries of subordinates , just to compare where they are. 7. HR has made team of employees, who are putting/will put good feedback on glassdoor on regular basis.If they put honest effort to improve organization, that would be much better and no fake feedback will be required. 8. No onsite or onsite opportunity is given to favorite. 12 years Associate architect and other old competent team member are never given onsite opportunity while recently promoted associate architect,who was considered to be low performer, is given two months of onsite. 9. Presentation skills of Few ILT are very poor. 10. Recently they fired one competent ILT leader on few hours notice. It is not an organization for good performers. 11. Few top management guys keep hiring their relatives, neighbors or guys of same religion or caste. Very sick demonstration of mentality.

Pros

Excellent company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.
