Pros

If you're looking for a job where you're using the same technologies over a long period of time without much change, this is the place to go. The colleagues are best. The engineers are all creating a collaborative, helpful, productive atmosphere.

Cons

The IT infrastructure is slow, outdated and poorly maintained, which causes headache and stress to engineers who want to work effective and efficiently. I cannot see that freshers are given fair conditions and good chances. Even the hardest working and smartest freshers quickly get frustrated due to the lack of progress in career and due to the lack of sustainable acknowledgement of their work through management. Going the extra mile is hardly ever awarded because the management lacks knowledge in both, technical topics in order to perceive the extra mile and its importance, as well as leadership skills in order to provide the right incentives.
