Pros

Good compensation for laterals (Can give you a 50% hike or more) Good chance to participate in organizational HR initiatives, conduct trainings, CSRs, etc. Long term onsite (If you are lucky to get one)

Cons

Long term onsite (No rotational policies) Poor increments (even in the range of 5-10 thousand INR annually) Untimely appraisal cycle (can vary from being conducted over 3 - 18 months) Limited scope for promotions (lateral joinees get better than you do... so much for being faithful to one company) No policy on working hours (Slog as your project demands, else relax) Can be asked to work on any technology despite your competence Promised opportunities like onsite might never be offered
