Pros
  1. Boss is always right. If you have a good rapport with the manager, you will get what you want: onsite promotion, you name it.

  2. If you don't like coding, this is the best place. Bare minimum, like "hello-world," will do.

  3. MNC with huge regional biases. Keep to your roots.

  4. Huge number of projects.

  5. Laterals get huge benefits, only if they are not duped by high-skill bonus, etc.

  6. Girls have the liberty of not stretching their work hours.

  7. The brand name is the only factor you want from here; that is the only thing you get.

  8. Variable/bonus pay is above 95% every time.

Cons
  1. You have to be your managers' and TLs' puppy.
  2. Way too much politics for onsite promotion, etc.
  3. Feedback and discussion depend upon the mood/interest of your TL.
  4. Could end up learning nothing technical in your career here.
  5. Forced useless certifications. All good certifications have no refund.
  6. Compensation plan is totally useless.
  7. Hotskill and bonus depend on the will of higher management.
  8. Way too many phony talks until they talk of compensation.
  9. You can be threatened about job security any time by anyone. Managers threaten about spoiling the careers of people quite often.
  10. If you leave a project, the previous project makes sure that you get the worst possible rating.
  11. Talent, achievement, delivery of good quality code, etc., are given lesser priority as opposed to doing community service like "birthday celebration coordinator," etc.
  12. TL supervisors are far less technical than they should be. Don't expect someone to help/guide you in your technical aspirations. Your career counselor could be dumber than you.
