Pros

Flexible hybrid model. 3 wfa Around 40 paid leaves. Annual bonus of around 1 or 2 months salary as per your performance. Decent lateral switches possible. High penalty on any kind of discrimination.

Cons

Difficult to take a vertical movement. Networking plays a critical role to get a vertical promotion as you need your sponsors If you need decent hike on an annual basis. It is expected you go much over and above and do something that they didnt even expect. Salary standards for freshers have reduced drastically.
