Pros

Good entry point for freshers who want a corporate IT tag without drama. Structured training, so you’re not thrown into chaos on day one. Brand name helps your resume survive HR filters later. Exposure to real enterprise projects, not just college-level toys. Stable salary and job security, which parents love more than you do.

Cons

Pay is average, enthusiasm required is above average. Work can be repetitive and heavily process-driven. Tech stack depends on project, not your “passion”. Growth can feel slow unless you aggressively upskill on your own. You are replaceable, and the system reminds you of that politely.
