Pros

Flexible Work Culture: The company provides a relaxed and adaptable environment, allowing employees to manage work with a certain degree of autonomy. Good Learning Environment: As a fresher, you get to work with cross-functional teams and gain exposure to client-facing roles, which helps build communication and professional skills early in your career. Supportive Team: Seniors are approachable and willing to guide you, especially during your initial learning curve.

Cons

Late Night Work: Due to alignment with US-based clients, work often extends into the night, especially during critical project phases. Night Shifts Affect Health: Continuous night shifts can disrupt sleep patterns and may impact physical and mental well-being in the long term.
