Pros

- WFH - Flexibility - Medical insurance

Cons

- It begins with competition and ends with competition. Most people unwilling to help and feedback are used to cut on performance scores instead of genuine trial to provide improvement and growth. Peers and managers are on constant look out of where to find faults! And most of the teams are likewise. - Work is sent via mail, many a times without a brief (new projects which one might not have any clue of) and then expected to go through it and get the work done within the day itself. It doesn't matter if the person had no prior experience on similar kind of projects, still they are rated based on that immediate-no experience-no support work ( which in a normal environment a person would have been given atleast a couple of days to familiarize with). Honestly, it might feel like you might even forget what you have learnt till now, because ultimately it's adding no value to self growth. - Teams are constantly changing! The team I had joined in, I was there for approx 6 months and within that period saw 2 people being shifted and a new joinee who joined while I was being shifted, again shifted within 6/7 months. Well none is good enough for them! People are kept on shifting saying their skills are not aligned with the team, ultimately eating away their personal growth and always keeping them under pressure. - Alongwith team shifts even working hours might get shifted which one might not be prepared for - You are encouraged to speak about concerns but there's rarely any solution, rather it will backfire
