Pros

If you are not whiling to learn then you get to learn a lot, sometimes it's overwhelming. Lots are expected in a short time.

Cons

Higher management treats its employees like slaves. They don't care if your body doesn't support, they will make you stay for 48 hours and complete the work. They provide unrealistic timelines. There aren't free tea/coffee. You won't get your variable pay even after providing the best result. Don't know what they want. If you stay back late (don't even have to work, maybe creating more defects), they feel you are good and you get 100% or more of the variable pay.

Pros

Learning and growth is there.. since many leave the company soon

Cons

There is a bond that employees have to sign not even sure that is legal. it's night shift(long term it will affect your health).even if u get a better opportunity you can't go forward without breaking the bond ( three months gross salary is what is needed to break it).. don't join unless you are really really desperate or can't find another job... Just try to find the attrition rate to understand what I am talking about.. I am not even commenting on the work culture here (read other comments about that). If you successfully complete the bond period during appraisal the management asks you to sign another bond to give you a decent hike. Lots of promises made none kept.
