Process
Not a great experience overall, and probably the most unpleasant I've had.
Firstly, I was unaware it was a technical interview. Suddenly, there were 3 people on the call besides me. There were lots of general questions about object-oriented programming and fundamentals. It was very scripted and felt like a college exam, with very little discussion.

Pros: Great compensation.
Breakfast and lunch are free.
Cons: Work-life balance is pretty bad in PD; be prepared to work on Saturdays and Sundays.
There's a lot of partiality on the basis of ethnicity (if you are South Indian, you are very lucky) and office politics.
Poor management and planning from leads cause a lot of unnecessary load.
Career growth is limited as the focus is more on deliverables; you will be stuck in one domain. For example, if you are in PD, you will not be given work on STA, and vice versa.
There are a lot of problems when asking for leave.
