Pros

Excellent work-life balance — flexible hours and supportive management. Hybrid/remote work options make it easy to manage personal commitments. Good work culture with respectful peers and emphasis on employee well-being. Decent learning opportunities through internal trainings and certifications. Inclusive environment and focus on diversity.

Cons

Salary increments and promotions can be slow compared to industry pace. Too much process and bureaucracy in some teams. Work can get repetitive depending on the project or client. Limited scope for innovation in legacy projects. Internal mobility takes time due to multiple approval layers.
