Pros

Work-life balance is great. Many opportunities to learn new technologies and skills.

Cons

Small increases in raise unless you are promoted Decision is made by two to three levels above your manager. Promotions are hard to come by. Decision is also made by two to three levels above your manager. Proformance appraisals have quotas regardless of your own accomplishments. Upper management does not want too many employees to have a five (best score) and expects at one or two employees to have a two. Work performed is very bureaucratic. Lot of approvals are needed to get anything done. If you are working with offshore, expect a delay in communication since there is a small window of time that we are both available to touch base.
