Pros

Unlimited PTO, great 401k benefits, lots of outreach activity to give back to the local community

Cons

It's difficult to make change with all the levels of bureaucracy in a large corporation. Vendor payment system all set up in India, nobody on site has ability to create new vendors or update payment information for existing ones.

Pros

Pay is pretty decent, You will work for it and then some!

Mangement is not so great. Too many top level managers that are truly incapable of getting the job done. No project management skills. All IT is based in India, and you will need them!
