There is a good learning curve at the start as you get to work on large-scale projects and get familiar with good SDLC practices. The tech team can be very supportive and helpful.

Very slow progress and no recognition/promo. Low salary and no increments. WLB is horrible for many teams since 2024, you are expected to work 24*7 in need, if you try to take time of you will get calls from stakeholders
