Pros

They pay you full salary while on the bench up to probably over a year. They don't fire or lay off people. Constantly hiring. Easy way to start off a career.

Cons

No career advancement. First promotion takes 4 years and that's almost nothing. It takes 8 years to become Project Manager. No choices or preferences for locations, industries, or work. No bonuses or personal incentives. Incompetent HR and poor policies. Retention rate for US hires is less than 1 year. Basically, you have no future if you are not Indian.
