Pros

Relaxed work culture. Chances to learn new things when they implement new products. Easy to get average ratings during appraisal cycle. Senior management understands issues if explained properly. Good allowance limits for hotel booking when travelling on business trips

Cons

When it comes to IT, senior management is too much vendor oriented. They want to outsource as many applications as possible, without even looking at what is good for company and existing Technical employees. International assignment options for someone working in India are too less. Lack of technical exposure for technical IT people. Too much of documentation. Technical work in a project will be only 10% and documentation will be 90%
