Pros

- Hands down experience of working in a huge setup - Lot of learning and travel opportunities

Cons

- Bureaucratic in each and every aspect. From promotions to even getting a gate pass - Senior management is clueless, un approachable and all they do is satisfy their massive egos. - HR being the weakest link. They hardly would come out and support you incase you need any help. - No check on promotions, same set of people get two promotions in four years, whereas there is no promotion in the team.

Pros

Nothing apart from the faint and I mean really faint satisfaction that you work for 3rd biggest bank in the world.

Cons

Its baffling how the management does not value your education the post they provide for freshers is the same CSE you may be a 12th, b.tech or MBA or even a CFA perusing professional or even an experienced professional who worked in the same call center industry his entire professional life. In the end very dissatisfying. Join if you want to pass away your time, get some pocket money or wait for better opportunities.
