Pros

Company is a leader in its industry. Good fundamentals and extremely high stability. The work is decent and pressure is not too high for most months in a year. Management provides a lot of flexibility in terms of working hours and location and hence it is a great Company to maintain proper work-life balance.

Cons

Limited Growth potential, especially at higher levels. A large percentage of management comprises of technical people who do not understand management or pure management people who don't understand technical issues correctly.

Pros

Promotions and personal growth good if you are talented. You get to work on higher level tasks irrespective of experience and gain skills exponentially. Visibility is very important and deciding factor for promotions.

Cons

Little to none overseas travel/transfer opportunities. Benefits of performing well seem mostly to lead to more work and responsibility rather than matching economic benefits. Advancement much dependent upon your visibility in the Business Group and success/demand of the product that you work on rather than your skills. Management always seems to wake up only when the competition is way ahead and then nagging at R&D to rush things leading to even harder maintenance in future.
