Pros

Barely any ! Poor pay-scale and no learning opportunities. Apart from it being a reputable brand , the Indian culture is taken over by Accenture , Cognizant employees making it a hellish experience for new Grads

Cons

Still working in Age-old tech stacks , Internal gamification is just there to conduct stupid activities to distract employees from underwhelming work. Not at all a good place to learn anything and grow. Come here if you want to retire in peace.
