Pros

Good work life balance if you're working in the right team for it. Nice culture and good people.

Cons

Too many presentations and assessments made on who you are rather than what you've done.

Pros

It is a company from which you would want to retire. Good work life balance. Whenever you travel you travel in business class and stay in best hotels. Internal job openings allow you to try your hands on various profiles. Amazing work culture.

Cons

HR is very weak, all the power is in the hands of your bosses. Office politics and bureaucracy prevails
