Pros

Above average work life balance, very large projects and systems, highly prestigious brand name. Very good pay scale. A large network of talented international staff to draw upon.

Cons

All IT has moved to India so extremely limited career growth potential. Government level bureaucracy. Very limited options with global corporate policies removing any real decisions

Pros

Good salary - pay is among the best you will find anywhere. Good working conditions - nice office facilities and grounds. Good coworkers as well.

Cons

Too many cutbacks when business conditions are challenged. This impacts employee morale too often and the company loses more than it saves from the cutback.
