Pros

Good food, cab facility, work from home, free snacks & fruits

Cons

Poor quality technology stack. Slow moving software & tools, but fast expectations. Poor quality talent within the organization. Medieval methods of retaining employees - too many team outings, too many hours of meetings per week, expectation to work 24 X 7, plus, hostile behavior by managers. They work only on legacy projects, since new projects are difficult to monetize. Projects are poorly implemented by their sub standard employees. Even non .NET technologies (like front end technologies) they use are at least 5 years behind the times. In other words, a perfect place to spoil career.
