Cons
-Management will put you in all programs to make you Jack of All Trades. Master of None. -That is when you will start realizing that this is not worth for the below average salary you get paid. -too much work off hours and weekend. Huge deployments every 2 weeks. -You get "voluntold" to be part of a deployment that you have no idea of. -You get moved to a new team and new manager every 3-6 months. -Managers make use of the resource as personal assistant -You have to make your manager "Happy" else you don't get any salary hike and will give you hard time. -Newly hired college graduates have better chances of getting good salary and positions as long as you 'please' your manager. -Experience people better stay away as they need only 'worker bees' without brains -Business people continuously fighting with IT.
