Pros

Good work-life balance, especially when working on a client project. The hybrid work model with a 60% work-from-office policy provides flexibility. Supportive teammates and managers who are approachable and helpful. Strong learning opportunities for freshers through training programs and internships. As a 2025 campus hire, I received around two months of internship/training before joining. Positive work environment with a collaborative culture and friendly colleagues. Company policies and employee benefits are satisfactory.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the lack of a structured hierarchy and support system for employees on the bench. It can make talented individuals feel isolated and uncertain about their next opportunities. Project allocation and bench management processes need improvement. There is often no clear mechanism to evaluate skills and match candidates to suitable projects. Training and skill-development initiatives are sometimes not managed efficiently. For example, I observed situations where newer batches were assigned responsibilities to train employees from earlier batches who had already completed similar training, leading to confusion and inefficiencies. Career visibility while on the bench can be limited, making it difficult to understand growth opportunities and next steps.

Pros

Laidback environment depending which project / manager you’re under. Lots of flexibility. Great entry level role but once you’re a senior it’s hard to move up, request increases etc

Cons

Very slow growth, way underpaid for the industry and work you’re doing, not much autonomy for the type of work you can do, I was a senior on paper but didn’t feel like it since I was always thrown on random projects and don’t have a niche skill set or expertise in a certain area
