Pros

Supportive colleagues and good learning opportunities for freshers. The company provides structured training, exposure to enterprise projects, and maintains a healthy work-life balance in many teams.

Cons

Career growth can be slow, especially when employees remain on support or non-development projects for long periods. Internal project allocation is inconsistent, salary increments are modest, and switching to development roles can be difficult without internal opportunities.
