Pros

Salary is good . Transportation

Cons

Work culture. Continuous work pressure on all eployees which may leads to overthing and sleepless nights. Un necessary tasks to occupy team. Office politics is at its pick. If you are tech geek then this place is hell for you. (Here use of jenkin is inovation. ) So many calls where people discuss plans and don't work on it at all. For Automation testers: neither you will get functional understanding nor you will be doing Automation testing. You will end up doing execution and execution of same test cases . You may currently OK with it. Eventually it will lead to frustration and helplessness.
