Pros

Depends upon the project you are in.

Cons

1. Graduate Software Trainees are hired at the lowest salary possible. 2. 1 year of bond. 3. Salary increment after 1 to 1.5 years(including training period) is 4-5%. Which makes 500 Rs. per month at 2.0 lac CTC. 4. In some projects they make it impossible to switch to other projects. 5. Your ODC hours are counted during appraisal and if it's less than 7.5 hours you are doomed. 6. Number of hours spent in office is more important than your quality of work. Overtime are appreciated.

Pros

nothing, really, nothing appears to be functioning in this organization from onboarding over working, billing, offboarding

Cons

I have not been paid for my work after almost 90 days now. There is no formal explanation or refusal, but they are just sitting it out it appears, pocketing the money that has been paid on my behalf by the client.
