Pros
* Strong exposure to real-world enterprise projects, especially in digital banking (e.g., complex transaction flows, security validation, and regulatory compliance).
* Opportunity to work with international clients, which helps improve communication skills and understanding of global standards.
* Good foundation for QA fundamentals: test case design, SIT/UAT cycles, regression testing, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
* Generally supportive team environment; colleagues are helpful and willing to share knowledge.
* Work-life balance is relatively stable compared to product startups, making it suitable for those prioritizing consistency.
Cons
* Career growth can feel slow and heavily dependent on project assignment rather than clear progression paths.
* Limited exposure to modern QA practices (e.g., automation, CI/CD integration) unless you proactively push for it.
* Salary increments and compensation may not always match market competitiveness, especially for senior roles.
* Decision-making can be hierarchical, which sometimes slows down improvements or innovation in testing processes.
* Learning opportunities exist, but are often self-driven rather than structured or guided by the company.
