Pros

- salary in India is very good, that is if you are from a tier 1 / 2 B - school - very flexible working environment - small company culture so networking really helps

Cons

- lacks diversity - most of the senior management is tamil brahmin , its very hard to grow and opportunities to grow are limited specially if you happen to be a part of CBC (Cognizant Business consulting) - lacks getting qualified BA resources for onsite projects hence IT resources are often tagged as BA resources which results in sub standard work -
