Pros

Nothing i can think of, it was good earlier now is just like any other Service company

Cons

There is no appraisal hike in this company, so whether you work your 16 hours a day or just do bare minimum. It doesn't really matter. So you can get stuck at a salary, if you don't get promoted or their is a market correctness exercise not happening. Promotion can be very challenging with the politics and super weird process they have. Managers are in complete control of your career, so bootlicking is a must here to survive and progress.
