Pros

- I can't think of many pros to be honest. A few seniors managers are good in terms of work allocation. - Work life balance exists, though it may depend on the project.

Cons

- First, the compensation provided to freshers is incompetent. In this current economy, inflation will eat up your entire earnings. They are paying decade old compensation to freshers. It is about time they revise it. - Poor resource allocation: If you are smart enough, they won't assign you challenging projects. You will be stuck with the rest of the talent pool which will stunt your growth. - Maintenance projects : You are assigned maintenance projects when you will be assigned a project. Tech stack may completely depend on the client you are getting. There is limited to no growth for such projects. If you like to challenge yourself and learn more every time, you will get frustrated. To be noted, project allocation takes >5-6 months. - Lack of async culture : Too many pointless meetings. Agile and async are unheard of. - Reimbursement policy : The HR has draconian reimbursement policies that you won't find even in a public sector org.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with supportive managers, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities to work on enterprise projects. Good learning environment with exposure to modern cloud technologies and collaborative teams.

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive compared to the market. Career growth and promotion timelines can be slow, and project allocation sometimes depends on client demand rather than employee interests.
