It is good for beginners, avoid going into support project as they will make you work even on your sick days off. And HR wont help in this case either.

..., you will have to look for another one on your own , else they will remove you. Used to pay fairly but is now as good as literally any other company like TCS, Infosys in terms of both work quality and compensation. No real way to move vertically based on merit unlike TCS.
