Pros

Good to start at right after college. Leave 2 years after you gain experience and earn twice the $$ NI will pay. And guess what, their benefits suck.

Cons

Pay and working with people who have no real career aspirations

Pros

- Pay package for freshers and experienced personnel is good - Location of office is convenient - Opportunities to travel abroad - Open work culture where you are free to talk anything in your mind to the upper management.

Cons

Difficult to change to another company as there are very few companies that do similar kind of work. Especially, if one is not a computer science graduate but wants to continue working in the technical field, he/she is stuck with the company. The only way out is to change fields or to move into the management domain of the company.
