Pros

1. Work life balance is pretty good. No one will ask you to work after 5 or 6 in the evening and no one gonna question you even if you login at 11AM. 2. You will have the opportunity to explore new things and stuff. But we need to make sure we ask our managers. Unless we ask there is no way we gonna learn stuff. 3. Managers are friendly.

Cons

1. Growth is something we need to earn. Only if we can showcase our skills we will be paid better. Sometimes even if you work hard it's our responsibility to showcase the work that we have done. Else we will not be recognized by our managers though if we do some excellent stuff.
