Pros

Great exposure to diverse technologies and large-scale client architectures. The work culture within the immediate team is generally supportive, and there are ample internal learning resources and certifications available to upgrade your skills.

Cons

The appraisal and promotion cycles can be quite slow and often don’t align with market standards. Bureaucracy and strict internal processes can sometimes delay project approvals or resource allocations.
