Pros

1) You will get your salary on Time :) 2) You will eventually learn how to get over your frustration 3) Good for freshers

Cons

1) Very Frustrating Environment 2) They keep your passport at the time of induction and then they start humiliating you 3) Since there is always a resource crunch in the company, you have to visit multiple clients in a day - just like a horse but doing donkey work. Conclusion you will become a dog 4) This company is not at all professional 5) Computer World was a Hardware Shop and gradually they started the services as well. But the behavior and mentality is just the same 6) Lack of sensible top-management. 7) They exploit their resources 8) No flexibility in working hours. Even if you work till midnight, you have report back to office at 7.30 AM sharp else it will be called as half day 9) You are not liable to take any casual leaves at all 10) You can take sick leave but will have to produce a medical certificate 11) You loose your technical proficiency 12) Even if there is an emergency back home, you won't get your passport without depositing the bond amount 13) You are not allowed to do any casual talks in office 14) Line Managers take you for granted. Misbehavior is very common Overall, its a very frustrating environment to work in. I won't recommend to join this company at all.

Pros

- Bene's for "upper-non-management" grades are good - People generally good - WFH often viable (depending on position) - Despite demonizing, insurance allows many to get medical coverage they might not otherwise

Cons

WOW, where do I begin? Seriously, I'll admit to being a casualty of lay-off, but can make strong arguments that my failure was in not having worked previously with the new regime. The business side is plausible, but in IT, it is ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE that ComputerWorld listed them as viable, much less best. Specific to IT: = In 2008, WLP realized they spent 1/2 of what their competitors did on IT. The 2009 budget included about a 5% increase. = 2009 saw outsourcing of all field support with a corresponding drop in service. = New directions are defined every year and when one is deemed broken, they roll out a whole new one with no visible consideration as to whether the original just needed tweaking or if the new will be any more effective. - Example 1: You need IT support for estimating a project that will not pay to get IT support until it has been estimated. See a catch-22? - Example 2: A set budget is put aside for enhancements each year. Once it's gone, you essentially wait til the following year to fix a problem. In 2009, it was allocated by sometime around February. = 2009, about 1/3 of all servers in use were too old to remain supported by vendors. = Software is almost always at least a full generation behind current, often more. = Since October 2009, FIVE rounds of layoffs have hit software development literally erasing thousands of years of industry / company experience in deference to continuing to pay Accenture and similar companies, as well as increasing offshoring. Anecdotally, two of my three former team members have left IT altogher. Many others are looking elsewhere.
