Pros

Good pay, basic perks. Health insurance and Annual Health benefit

Cons

Bad Work life balance Very less people do actual work. Rest of the fodder just works without any scope for promotion at L5 level. Lot of office politics. The rating/review is heavily dependent on manager perception and has very less to do with colleagues/ the kind of work you do. Growth factor is kind of stagnant. Don't join here as an early employee.
