Pros

Good financials. Good benifits- health and life insurance Subsidized transport facilities Free coffee.

Cons

Attitude not very employee friendly. Pathetic work life balance especially at the entry and mid management levels. Everything is manager dependent and career growth, appreciations and promotions depends on how well you know your manager.
