Pros

Growing environment for fresh grads Freedom of work life Opportunity to vocate your ideas

Cons

They quote a made up CTC which would be twice your base salary and you wont know how they arrived at that amount, as end of the year what you get is much less. If you have a joining bonus component be very careful. They will take it back based on the service period condition on your offer letter. But never mention the amount they have taken back on any paper, not even From 16. Payroll team is extremely rude and harsh. They will not tell you till your last day how much money you have to pay back. And you have to pay then and there by cheque. Now, you keep mailing HR, they would not mention about this amount in your From 16 and you end up paying a huge tax amount (1/3 rd of the bonus). Nobody from HR, your director, manager would understand your argument and ask the payroll to correct the From 16. Complete harassment I would say.

Pros

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Cons

Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
