Pros

- starting salary is good if you are a BTech grad from a premier institute - good friendly team members (if you're lucky) - leave policy is good - food is good (though paid) - if your manager is good, you will have a good time

Cons

- DO NOT JOIN if you want to remain in soft developer field, you'll be working on age old technologies and will remain restricted only to your tool - work is all about electronics tools , which might not interest a soft professional - most of the managers are here from their birth I guess, they know literally nothing about the outside world tech, and would expect the same out of you - micromanaging to the core and WFH is a curse here, they will call you anytime after office hours/weekends and expect you to work - no flexibility for a team change/ internal openings - manager will overcommit with unrealistic deadlines and make engineers overwork, expect to work from 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week - no growth rate, mundane cadence specific work - managers have too much power regarding you hike - transport and food is not free
