Pros

1. Work - life balance 2. Competitive pay - hikes are directly proportional to goals accompalished during financial year . Even if starting pay is not the best , but eventually you can beat any of the competitiors . 3. Freedom to think/innovate/learn . Time is given to properly design , think and implement the solution . 4. Great opportunity to develop personally - learning is not limited technical skills .. you can learn a lot when you have a group of smart people around . 5. Management accept shortcomings and are always ready to change for better .

Cons

A general cons of any big company is when the products become stable , a lot of time is spent in code maintenance which may slow down learning . This is again team specific and not permanent , eventually management takes care to distribute core rnd tasks so that every one gets good opportunity .
