Pros

- Massive opportunities for upskilling, with robust internal training programs and access to premium tech certifications. - Exposure to Fortune 500 clients across varying domains (finance, healthcare), making it easy to switch projects/stacks without changing companies. - Generally flexible hybrid work schedules and solid employee benefits depending on the region. - Strong focus on high-quality software engineering and logical problem-solving.

Cons

The "Bench" Risk: When a project ends, employees go on the bench and may face intense pressure, pay reductions, or even job security risks if they fail to secure a new project quickly. Stagnant Hikes: Salary increments and annual hikes are average.

Competitive compensation and good benefits for visa employees. Everything is fair, company is not taking advantage of you, unlike many similar companies. Lot of internal courses and trainings, opportunity to work in multiple domains.
