Pros

Reasonable pay, Flexible Timings, Good work culture and environment, Multi-cultural environment.

Cons

Support staff not supportive either HR or Admin or Network Staff. It is a struggle to get projects done in time as there is very less guidance from senior staff and requires a lot self-learning. Poor pay hikes even for the deserving staff. Variable Pay system is ridiculous as there is only 10% of staff get the entire variable pay as mentioned in offer letter.
