Pros
Good place to start a career; strong exposure to end-to-end testing. Suitable for freshers to build foundational skills. Access to learning platforms (e.g., Udemy subscriptions). Some projects offer onsite opportunities, which can help enter overseas job markets (e.g., UAE). Useful as a stepping stone to gain experience and move on.
Cons
Lack of management support; focus is purely on client billing. No work-life balance; frequent late nights, weekends, and holiday work. Toxic management culture in some teams. Long notice period (3 months) with no early release, even if willing to pay. Ineffective HR support; increments are negligible and symbolic. Fresher bonds (up to 2 years) with low pay slow early career growth. High level of politics and favoritism. Very low compensation, both onsite and offshore. Questionable credibility of “best employer” awards.
