Good to learn, but bad work-life balance

Pros

Depends on the project you are in. Some projects will give you enough time to apply your knowledge and also learn new things. But most of the projects/managers will have unrealistic expectations. They won't hesitate to ask you to build the whole testing framework within one or two weeks.

Cons

Everything depends on your project manager. They can give you work from home or call you to the office every day. They will often ask you to stretch and work for 12+ hours without any added benefits. IBM policy clearly states that if you work on the weekend or more hours, you should be given comp-off. But it's only on paper. People don't even know what comp-off is here.
