Pros

Free lunch. Free light morning breakfast OR evening snacks. (Only one) Compoffs and a good number of leaves. Dinner and cab at night only if leaving late

Cons

1. No promotions and hierarchies. Very poor career opportunities. 2. Ultra Poor work/life balance when there are urgent deliveries. [15-16 hours in a single stretch :( ]. Weekend disturbances. 3. Limited learning - There are no large-scale distributed projects to work on. So you will never learn to design high scale applications but only programming (good for freshers). 4. High level of politics. 5. Flexible timing is a myth. Your morning timing is restricted by early meetings. Your evening timing might be stretched by the huge workload. 6. Poor performance review process. 7. WFH comes with restrictions. 8. Third-party contractual employees form a major part of the team (not an issue but) and most of them are poor performers.

Pros

Good work-life balance compared to many consulting companies. Stable environment and structured processes.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to large corporate structure. Salary growth may feel slower than at startups or U.S.-based tech companies.
