Pros

There's nothing positive here. Didn't find anything.

Cons

They will make you cry, if you resign. Management will not reimburse if you have PL.So utilize all your leaves before you resign. Bad toilets, bad food, bad management, bad leave policy, bad time management, bad culture. Higher management abuses and yells at their team. No work life balance. All the architects are pet to senior management who have literally zero knowledge. If you are questioning then they will make your life hell. All the HR are postman with zero power. If you don't have any offer then join otherwise no no no..
