Pros

Good/Smart People, Good Benefits (which is shown as a part of your CTC, Might be around 10% of your CTC) You might get good consulting xperience

Cons

NO / ZERO work life balance They cheat you by giving you a offer letter of a heavy pay package, but at least 35% of it you won't get in hand (25% Deferred Bonus & 10% Non-Cash Benefits like Transportation, Meals, Internet etc.. which many companies provide for free) If you want to grow yourself technically, this is NOT the place for you. Very Basic Technical Work, just to suffice customer immediate needs (and charge them heavily) and no/zero stress on documentation or code reviews or process improvement.
