Pros

Work culture is just OK. If you know how to manage without putting any efforts and pretend like working, then its good place for you. You should not make the task to look simple by putting more efforts. You should reports lot of issues while working on a task and should resolve them by taking lot of time. The you will be lauded like you are genius. :)

Cons

Worst management. More number of managers in a team than the team members.. Everyone wants to earn salary by making the chosen person in the team to work hard. No promotions. New people get good position in the team. Old employees who got best performance rating are reporting to new employees who dont have capacity to justify the role.
