Pros

Can get to learn / work in different technologies Good salary compared to market If you prove to be a good performer, can be in the good books of management

Cons

Somewhat hectic timeline with respect to dev projects managed internally. Can feel everyone's fear of top management which is frankly a buzz kill. I never had a reason to be in that situation but the stories about how top management treats you (quite literally) can be of terror. There is a WHOLE lot of room for improvement in the areas of communication and organizing in sectors of HR, finance and in general other than IT.

Pros

Lot of exposure on new technologies.

Cons

Management is worst and biased. Favoritism is at its peak. HR's are also in this league and of no use.
