Pros
Strong brand value on the resume, especially for freshers. Structured onboarding and training for ASEs, which helps non-CS or average CS students settle in. Job security is decent compared to many private IT firms. Exposure to large-scale enterprise projects and global clients. Internal learning platforms and certifications are available if you’re proactive. Work-life balance is generally okay in many projects.
Cons
Project allocation feels random; skills and interests are often ignored. Growth can be slow, especially in support or low-impact projects. Pay progression is not very aggressive compared to the market. A lot depends on the manager—good manager, good life; bad manager, tough life. Bench period can feel uncertain and underutilized. Innovation and hands-on coding may be limited in some roles
