Pros

Good technical frameworks, large systems with scale, and microservices architecture. You could learn a lot from multiple teams. We used to have good tech talent, but gradually, because of management decisions, profit declined, and survival politics on the ground ruined the culture. Good talent started leaving. Good for freshers and not for experienced engineers.

Cons

Most work in India is maintenance. Not much complexity of work for a senior person; most days it's meetings and production maintenance.

Advice to Management

Transparency and belief in engineering.
