Pros

descent benefits, flexible timings, exposure of latest techonology

Cons

- Big communication gap between management & engineers. Management signs up too many projects beyond the execution limits of its engineers causing too much work pressure. As a result, you are expected to work late nights and weekends without exceptions. - There are too many mid level managers whose primary job is to conduct meetings through out the day, where only job done is collecting the status. Half of your day time goes into attending the meetings. - There is lot of politics & blame game across different teams.
