Pros

> Work from Home option is very flexible. In some BU no questions asked about your whereabouts as long is you deliver. > You get the flexibility to learn new Products and technologies and in most cases implement those as well. > People are very approachable. > Very process oriented company with clear policies.

Cons

> The growth in terms of money is not consistent. Some years its very good and some other years its 0%. Over a period of time you tend to slip below the average of similarly placed companies. > HR is not visible. There is hardly any HR interaction. They do once a year employee engagement surveys but core learnings from that are not implemented. > Your reporting manager is the boss of all things. He/She can make or break your career.

Pros

Can't think of any other than good work/life balance

Cons

Little to no innovation in-house, mostly acquire and squander is the metaphor (eg. Sun Microsystems). Trickle down economics does not exist here, all of the real money goes into the pockets at the top only. So the salary you hire with is likely your termination salary. Top level management has little to no respect for employees, they are just necessary overhead. Very low morale in general for employees (ref movie: Brazil).
