Pros

As a company it offers good package and benefits for the employee. It has culturally diversed working population. There are lots of opportunities internally to chose for an employee as they get experienced. Overall It's a great company to work for.

Cons

It should have better extracurricular infrastructure in it's facilities. Cafeteria should have subsidized food prices for its employees.
