Good Compensation (Pre-Covid) But no work life balance
Pros: They did give good annual hikes pre-covid.

They provide a high end laptop on the first day of joining so always have flexibility to work from home unless you are in a project that requires you to work from an ODC.

Periodic parties keep happening and usually company keeps gifts etc. to their employees.
Cons: Although this is very project dependent but there are a few projects in which there is no work life balance. People sometimes work for 7 days a week 15 to 16 hours a day for month together without any additional pay or compensatory offs. In others its much better with expectation of around 9 hours a day with the occasional weekend work.

For getting a promotion you need to have very strong connections with the 'leadership' on the floor. Working very hard and getting client appreciation is not enough to get you a promotion. If you don't have good connects with the leadership group you will most likely not get a promotion. Much harder for laterals to make connections.

You need to reach out to the leadership group and take up responsibilities other than your assigned work. You will have to go to all the managers on the floor and ask them for more work so that you can justify your contributions towards the company apart from the 9 hours a day you are putting in your current project.
