Pros

Looks good on your resume that's about it. Insurance is decent.

Cons

Where do I begin? No sick days, you have to use your own PTO. You are not provided with any tools until you pay for them yourself, that's when they will reimburse you. The Job Description Says no more than 100 miles for traveling between home and site which is an outright lie. You will be micromanaged on a per-day basis. You are using your personal car to drive to these locations. High Rate of Turnover at this position. You Work 9 hours per day, but can only clock in 8, and good luck in getting a lunch break if you are not interrupted all the time by your boss and clients The training is outright laughable. Won't be allowed to get OT because you will be told the company doesn't have the budget to do so you "Be granted a day off" if that happens. Waiting to get reimbursed for everything takes weeks on end while your Bills stack up. Clients will treat you like trash. When getting a raise is outright laughable. There will be times you will be doing the work of two to four employees at the same time. They will literally hire a warm body to do the job doesnt matter if you have experience or not. Impossible deadlines to be met.

Pros

Balancing Work-life environment Easy Interview filtering (Hiring rates are High) Decent Compensations Opportunity to work globally

Cons

3 Month Notice Period - whenever you get better offers they target to spoil the opportunity by long notice period without negotiations, recommend to resign first and apply for jobs, these days none of the companies ready to accept 3 months of joining, even 2 months also becoming hard, this it the HCL's strategy to keep you not leaving Reaching HR or Management is almost impossible in Sri Lanka Office Controls and decisions are not made individually and country specifically,in simple terms, Management in Srilanka just holding designations with no power Leaves - having complex leave rules which not align with Sri Lanka Holiday Policies Politics - you will be treated as a traitor once you gave the resignation, even your regular approvals also being ages to get approvals

Pros

1. Good Work-life balance for a married personnel, 2. Learning and challenging roles 3. On-site opportunities very rare, but it is there 4. Felt like home, amenities inside campus is good, hospitals, shops, etc... 5. If one does additional gimmicks, according promotion and hike is possible ( but no one say how to do and what to do, have to find individually, mostly it'll take min. after first year) 6. Few Friendly Managers are there

Cons

1. No hike, be prepared, again repeating no hike, its a mere hike percentage, for a middle class people, they cant stand a chance, more than 3 years.... 2. Politics, 3. Few un manageable managers... 4. Recruiters sometimes speak like Hench men, so ball up in salary negotiation, again saying mere annual hike percentages, so entering hike is the only option, never fear for threatening words from HR recruiters.... speak up and stand strong in salary negotiation.... (just my suggestion) 5. No promotions, unless you meet goals of manager's KPI 6. No monetary benefits
