Pros

Good company to work with reputed global clients. Opportunities to work on Microsoft technologies such as Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. Good learning and upskilling opportunities in certain technology domains. Projects can provide good technical and domain exposure.

Cons

Salary hikes are generally negligible. Work culture can feel very impersonal. Once assigned to a client, the experience can feel like you are simply a resource working and billing hours for the client. Limited sense of belonging to the organization beyond your project. Project availability for Microsoft technologies, especially Dynamics CE, can be limited or short-term. Bench periods can be frustrating and uncertain. Personal career growth can feel slow. Upskilling and growth opportunities vary significantly depending on the technology domain and project. Overall experience depends heavily on the client and project you are allocated to.

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.

Cons
