Pros

- They pay well as compared to other Indian MNCs. - Good perks.

Cons

- Work will be on really old tech which will be sold by the management as 'cloud transformation'. - They think they are the industry leaders in migration but they barely understand any cloud concepts. - Architects and team leads with heads up their posteriors with no regard to the team. They will rightfully find a scapegoat to blame and make an individual feel they've commited a crime. - Zero learning and growth opportunities. Even to get a simple python or javascript certificate, you'd have to raise this with the management. Your growth is at their mercy. - Appraisals are a joke. - If you're good at bootlicking and showcasing your work as if you have found a cure to cancer, you would fare well here.

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
