Pros

1. Initial Pay package, thats all

Cons

1. No Work life balance 2. Project planning is a joke, They plan the project under the assumption that engineers will work 18 hours a day 3. Extreme politics, Questioning or giving feedback to managers is a death sentence. 4. Manager will make your life hell, if you question there planning and say no to working 18 hours a day 5. Though initial pay package is good, you will not get any hike for atleast first 3 years 6. Be ready to sacrifice your health, mental peace and finally your soul
