Pros

Salary as per market standard.

Good infrastructure.

Cons

Huge workload.

Freshers might get more salary than you and less responsibility than you.

Ad-hoc work; estimations go wrong in 90% of projects, and you end up working late at night.

Advice to Management

Might need to improve a lot at levels 64 and 65.
