Good if you are not high achieving or ambitious
Pros: - Good work life balance
- You have plenty of time to develop yourself
- Pay is competitive
- Company care about the general well being of the employee
Cons: - off late they are marketing that they are re-engineering/ writing from scratch and is multi-year programme. But let me put this straight, yes there is such work but nothing of that sort is hapenning in India. These are happening in London/US/HK regions only. At most India is getting a badly written code for re factoring/testing and writing test cases. They have tricked many good people from Goldman, Morgan,Credit Suisse and they are realising the mistake.

- Due to the same reason, people are already quitting and spreading bad name. All new joinees who have been tricked with development from scratch are either writing test cases or looking at code already developed by US/UK folks and fixing bugs or testing them

- If you are new here, you will be all alone with no project documentation or anybody to guide you. Your Manager is a name on the paper and nothing else.

- Frankly speaking if you are ambitious or high achieving, this is not the place for you. There is crappy processes all around such that you would hardly get time to code and you would get frustrated.

- HR is tricking people in the name of good work while hiring which is very sad. They are just targeting to achieve the headcount numbers they have been given.
