Pros

The facilities for transport, food, spiritual, recreation etc are top class! I can't think of another company who provides so much to their employees (atleast in India, there are none!)

Cons

Work can get stressful sometimes and you have to slog it out inorder to get a promotion/bonus.

Pros

Tons of benefits such as heath plans, retirement contributions, free bike, you apparently bring your dog to work now in Dublin, snacks everywhere Lots of smart people to work with and learn from. Plus most people are very nice and have engaging interests. Free gifts e.g. phone every year for the past four years Chance of travel in Europe as well as the States and possibly other locations with a good stipend for expenses for the most part Free food and it's routinely great

Cons

No paid overtime work life balance can be difficult to maintain Advancement is very arbitrary depending on manager

Pros

Freedom to work and motivate one self. There is no micro-managing and you're given the freedom to work the way you want as long as it drives results. They also understand the importance of life balance and have helped me instill balance in my life.

Cons

I really can't think of anything. There may be times where you feel the work isn't right for you, but it's big enough that you're able to move to a project and location that suits you.
