Pros

Pay and benefits are very good for management. You can also get promoted faster than just about anywhere else. You are judged on your performance, not just who likes/dislikes you.

Cons

Expect 80 hrs/week from mid-Nov through December, 60-70 for another 6 months of the year and 50 for the rest of the year. Micro-management is the standard, not the exception. It takes senior management in each building to make even the smallest changes. It is common for one shift or department to leave another in a bad place in order to make goals/set records.

Pros

Good challenging work. Smart people around in team. Usually very less maintenance work. You can learn many technologies. Even distribution of work between Indian and US employees.

Cons

Always you are forced to complete tasks in time which is less than actually required, and hence long working hours needed to meet the deadlines.
