Pros

- Opportunities for graduates are far greater than other software firms and consultancies - Workforce is very young, friendly and mostly intelligent - If you join as a graduate and perform well, you can move up the ladder very quickly

Cons

- Opportunities for experienced hires are very poor. People with great experience and strong track records often find themselves performing monotonous roles. Many experienced hires leave within 1 year of joining - Compensation is far below industry standards; increasing compensation usually requires a promotion - Many of the line managers are chosen purely for their technical skills; they have little talent or skills in helping their people forge a desirable career path
