Pros

1. Very less work 2. Good place to relax when you feel you have worked more 3. Exposure to Large Scale Telecom software systems 4. Trying to work in Agile way 5. Yearly one office Sponsored Outing 6. Parties / Dinners for every release 7. Decent Pay 8. Exposure to Open source technologies

Cons

1. Poor Roadmap, you are hired for one technology you end up working in other technology. 2. You tend to forget the technical stuff that you already know, unless you are motivated enough to do some learning on your own. 3. No travel opportunities 4. Typical Politics in Play in the Mid Management Level 5. Abuse of Agile, Mid management over fits waterfall in to agile 6. Lethargic Recruiting Strategy, Many people do not have work in the areas of their specialization. 7. Spikes of work at times of Releases and Middle Management expects you to work over late nights and Weekends to finish it
