Good learning opportunities but slow promotions and pay

Pros

Good learning and training opportunities for freshers, with access to upskilling platforms and exposure to different technologies. Work-life balance and team culture are generally decent depending on the project and manager.

Cons

Salary hikes and promotions are pretty slow compared to the market. Project allocation is random, so sometimes you may end up in support or outdated technologies.

Pros

Select teams are great to work with because of their internal culture.

Cons

Nepotism and infighting has driven out most of the talented folks who cared about quality work.
