Pros

Work from home facility

Work-life balance

Cons

Most projects are low quality, with almost nothing to learn and no growth.

Pathetic salary hikes. Most of the times, there are no salary hikes, not even 1% for years continuously.

Processes are too complex, with a lot of steps and documentation.

Some managers engage in too much politics and micromanagement.

Processes are not so transparent, and there's no worth for your hard work in most of the projects.

Good for experienced guys, but for freshers, this is certainly NOT a place to be.

Advice to Management

Reduce process complexity, make hikes and promotion processes more transparent, and retain good resources who are leaving due to low growth and manager politics.
