Pros

None I could find. This is an organization full of incompetent leadership. They work on their strategies without knowing who would work to make it a success, as people are highly disengaged.

Cons

The technology team is a monarch run by one individual. He does the finance and HR part as well based on his fancies. The actual HR and finance department are just dummies. Does not let anyone grow apart from himself as he has this right only. Rest all the people working under him are just robots. Expects people to work for 24 hours on meager salaries. No incentive for any hard work. This company is a black hole. If you enter you lose all your skills and would be useless for any other company outside and hence can never come out. Only the smarter one's understand this quickly and leave at the right time. 90% people would leave if given an option. The organization (monarch) is sitting on a time bomb which is soon going to explode as good people would leave due to lack of right recognition and growth. Only the one's who are too comfortable in the sick environment would stay. AOS team would be worst hit. It would be interesting to see what the crowned king would do then. Join this only if you think you are and can work like a robot (aka mule).

Pros

1. Work Life Balance 2. Flexible Timings 3. Free meals 4. Nice Office 5. Good for those who want to give ample time to family .

Cons

1. The reporting managers are here for 12-14 years and lack basic technical skills that leaves no space for changes at ground level . They will rate you not on the basis of performance but on the basis of some absurd factors. 2.Higher Management talks about Big things in townhalls but clearly lack vision ,nothing concrete happens at the ground level. The Leadership team is not connected with people . They need to come out of cabin culture . 2. Recently, the company is experiencing high level of attrition by its old employees as well as new joinees who understand in a couple of months time about the quality of work in the company. 4 The good quality work goes to vendors like Accenture or TCS as the Canadian partners are aware of incapability of India Center . In a nutshell, the india center only gets the work which is of low quality and rejected by vendors . 5. If you stay here for 4-5 years , it really gets difficult to get another opportunity as they are very behind in terms of technologies and tools.Many people in the company are stuck for close to 12 years. 4. Beware - They may offer you better compensation w.r.t. other companies at time of hiring ,but u will land up doing something very mediocre. 5. This is a place where higher Management gets promotion every 2 years while the people who really deliver don't get vertical growth.
