Pros

Only work-life balance is good.

Cons

Reviews and hike cycles are a big joke; there is no defined time period for hikes.

Delayed hikes are also very poor.

Apart from salary, you will not get any benefits.

Bottom line: If they pay you heavily (at least a 50% hike), join and quit as early as you can. Otherwise, you are spoiling your career.

You might find many seniors working around you, eagerly waiting for a correction in their pay. Many of the managers/directors here have nothing in their hands during the hike cycle. So, they set a bar which is not at all realistic, thus running into arguments and making things worse.

You are unlikely to get a hike during your first year of joining.
