Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary and good office infrastructure

Cons

Lot of work pressure, no work life balance. Never ending work pressure and worst political environment. Local guys will not let you get promoted easily even HR person also make it difficult for you to grow. I will never recommend anyone to join if you have ambitions and future goals related to your career.
