Pros

- Will learn a lot because no guidance

Cons

- No bonus until you are promoted to much higher position - No work-life balance, expected to be by your laptop 24/7 even on leave - Lousy benefits and pantry is pathetic for MNC - Project lead threatens to replace teammates to scare them into obeying him - Working on weekends and OT is common (can claim compensatory off but still subjected to approval) - Toxic culture of guilt tripping for going on leave, a lot of blame game - No proper management, projects are constantly short handed - Always giving empty promises of changing projects/increasing headcount/better work life balance

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
