Pros

Starting package is good for freshers. But there would be no job satisfaction. Its not challenging.

Cons

Poor Management. They do not even have plans for three months down the lane. Monotonous work.

Pros

Overtime is paid. Travel for business is possible, if you like to travel.

Cons

Management is incompetent. Constant restructuring, management is changed yearly to avoid giving employees rewards for past achievements. Constant layoffs. Too much travel, no life work balance. Technology is old and experience very specialized . Almost no training. Too big gap between management and employees. While employees salaries are frozen or cut, management receives fat bonuses. (sometimes bonus equals 16 times their salary)

Pros

The technical domain is fascinating. People at engineering and technical levels are great It's a nice multicultural place.

Cons

Periodic lay off since few years (say 2003) despite large federal aids. Some of the middle management composed by "green MBAs" is building there own ivory tower. Too much politics on top of technical work produces unecessary pressures, sometime it's close to harassment, on employees and makes working methodology not enough efficient. In some department, people are not well-respected by medium and top managment.
