Pros

All good, everything is fine to work here. All you need to know is whether you want to work on a service based company or a product based one. If you're into service based, then you're good to go.

Cons

If you're not into service based, think twice

Pros

The environment may be suitable for very experienced professionals (10+ years experience) looking to sustain their current position without much pressure for rapid growth.

Cons

Poor Management: The management structure and support are lacking, leading to a frustrating work environment. Low Appraisals: Salary hikes are extremely low (1-5%), even for software engineers with around 3 years of experience. Stagnant Growth: This is definitely not a good place for freshers or mid-level professionals seeking career advancement or competitive pay. Advice to Job Seekers: If you are a fresher or have mid-range experience, you are better off looking for opportunities elsewhere to ensure better compensation and career growth.
