Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is not bad Other college grads as coworkers can help you make friends

Cons

Just very traditional, enforces a lot of arbitrary policies on you like RTO, regular badge-in times. Your Team Lead and even Manager many times don't have control over your employment, more so by leadership which seems bent on squeezing as much work out of you as possible.
