      Pros

      I wish I could put a pro aside from being paid

      Cons

      Everything is offshore Impossible to get validation letter of employment and working remote If you need something with payroll it takes an arm and a leg to get the ball rolling You continually have to deal with managers who do not know how to treat others like adults. They will use the term offline to cover their statements and then refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and blame other coworkers or try to bring random issues that do not deal with you up. Lastly the best is they will not give raises or match the market rate at all so when you onboard that is your final salary.

      Pros

      * They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

      Cons

      * Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
