Pros

None, not a single pro in my experience.

Cons

I want to share my personal experience, which may not apply to everyone, but I hope it offers some perspective: * There’s a lot of micromanagement, often from managers who aren’t technically sound and struggle with communication and leadership * The work culture can feel quite transactional, people ask for help but often don’t show basic empathy when you need support * Work-life balance takes a hit due to constant pressure and unrealistic deadlines * In an attempt to cut costs, freshers are assigned to critical projects, even when senior engineers find it hard to navigate the work — this just adds to the chaos * The desk booking system is a mess; I’ve literally seen people sitting cross-legged on desks because they couldn’t find a place to sit * The cafeteria turns into a sauna during peak hours — the ACs just stop working when you need them most * On low-attendance days, the air conditioning is turned off completely, even if you're one of the few working from the office * And something as basic as a coffee machine took over three weeks to get replaced — it says a lot about how little attention is paid to comfort or morale All said, this is just my experience. But if you’re someone who’s still driven, curious, or ambitious, you may want to think twice. Because in a place like this, it’s easy to feel that spark fade.

Pros

Some projects offered valuable learning opportunities, and I worked with a few supportive, skilled colleagues. The chance to contribute to large-scale government platforms was rewarding at times.

Cons

One-way communication from management created frustration and confusion. There was little to no flexibility in aligning personal goals with company expectations. Pay was consistently poor and rarely adjusted, even after promotions. The bench experience was demoralising — I was moved off a long-term project through no fault of my own, and then treated as though I had done something wrong. Micromanagement increased rather than support. Overall, it often felt like people were treated more like resources than human beings.

Pros

Smart and caring people with lots of talent. Enjoyable if you are working on projects with collaborative team, but often than not, it is like a body shop, where people are sent to client projects to deliver work.

Cons

It is all about utilisation, although there are several components to performance evaluation. If your utilisation is low, it is your own fault for not bringing in opportunities. There have been redundancies within the organisation for a long time, but people are told not to tell anyone. What we see are sudden,unexpected departures from the company. There is lots of secrecy around this. Although it brags about work-life balance, the reality is people are working more hours than recognised, with many working the normal 8 hours and extras for business development, internal tasks and initiatives. There is a lot of pressure for people to be in the office 3 days a week, so although they talk about flexibility, if you are not there, you're not a team player.
