Pros

A lot of learning opportunities, nice people, and used to be an amazing office before Corona, diversity and inclusion are a must

Cons

Low compensation in the beginning, dying enthusiasm, no pension, no projects for developers, no mobile projects, getting no promotions because they could not find you a project for a couple of months, constant reskilling means you are an "expert" at everything and that you don't remember anything

Pros

Best Company to be working in this decade in my experience. There is a guaranteed work-life balance and we often get to meet leaders/partners with whom we can talk freely about any career related issue. So much to add but if you have a matching skill set to one of the job roles/titles. As a no brainer just apply!

Cons

As a Consultant in a tier - 2 city or as we call it an ETC(Emerging tech center) it is next to impossible to switch your city or choice of work location
