Pros

No reasons apart from the salary they offer. Rest are only cons. <Had to write something to complete 20 words>

Cons

Completely old school people leading teams. Have no idea of new technology and practices. Expect junior to do things the same way they have been doing. No processes in place in most of projects. Damn expensive food for the amount and quality. Poorly built office interiors. Lockers are far away from desks. Zero recreational options. Located in middle of nowhere with a Jail in front and a mental hospital besides. They probably recruit senior folks from there.

Pros

Compensation is good but depends upon your negotiation skills. You will find people making double of you at same designation and same skill set. Good infrastructure & nice location, at least in pune. Leave policy is awesome.

Cons

Salary hikes are worst even after promotion. You will find many people hired only to talk and improve decorum of office. Too much politics. Being a new setup in India, every one is trying to be head of something 😁 Unnecessary layers in management. Worst work life balance.

Pros

Cab till home. Work life balance Good Relocation Bonus (one time) It all depends on the team and Project Lead. Learning comes in phases I was unlucky in the first six month and got really old tech stack JSP and struts. Later after change of the lead I got chance to work upon latest tech in the industry. Leaving Senior Management all the people are really helpful and nice. Nearly all teams have their own social activities and events.

Cons

Join only if you don't care about money and growth. Fixed yearly bonus for EE and AO, not even 5% assuming employed for the full review cycle. Hike is very less mostly single digit below 10%. The salary are not even close to what other banks offers in India. Leaves will get lapsed at year end. No option to en-cash them. No gifts on Diwali, New year. No other added benefits apart from salary and cabs. Favoritism will always win over hard work, effort and talent. Everything is already decided for year end review. They are just doing it for name sake. Senior management have very old thinking. They can push you up to any limit to get their year end goals completed, and they will not even give any credit for you. They will talk about ownership and strategy in front of you but will do nothing. They have very old tech stack. Most of the tech is dying and unmanageable. There is no point in learning it, as you will not find any opportunity in the old tech. Production release is a mess and you may not even get paid extra for doing it on weekend. They have a very complicated process for prod release and very few people are aware about it. Application owners in USA just want to get work done they don't think rationally on the time the effort it will take.
