Pros

- Good for starting your career in IT industry. - A lot of great and ambitious colleagues. - Can be very fun, interesting as well as challenging, but highly dependent on a team and project(s). - 40% discount.

Cons

- Enormous attrition, normally employees leave after 2-3 years. - Low pay. Even some start ups pay more. - Difference among departments can be huge. One might end up either in a very pleasant and professional environment or in a total chaos and nightmare. - Often there are big problems with the leadership. Company loves hiring ex-consultants giving them leading roles despite of their actual experience in the domain. As a result, some teams end up with clueless and totally inexperienced leads. - Too much politics. - Lick up culture. To get promoted first priority is to establish extra friendly relationships with the leadership. Professionalism, contribution and actual skills are secondary.
