Pros

-- Free beverages -- Most engineering staff is smart and capable of good work. -- Benefits are good and comprehensive, but nothing stands out.

Cons

-- Your start salary will likely be your end salary. -- Some technologies (ADF, ADF Mobile) are so poorly architected that you have to question how well this company can do anything. -- Inter-division politics, which admittedly exist everywhere, are especially bad in the applications group. -- Lots of 'useless people', who don't seem to fill any specific role, but don't seem to be bad enough to be fired.

Pros

- Decent pay - Great brand - Nice culture: almost flexible timings (although this depends on the team) - Good facilities: home drop, employee activities, etc

Cons

- Not high on learning. Many products use proprietary technologies/frameworks and after a period, you become obsolete compared to your peers outside. Not the best place if you want to stay ahead in the technology. - Sometimes you can get lazy due to the lax environment - Hikes are not great, there have been years without any hike in many cases

Pros

Flexibilty! Technology is good. Namesake Promotions.

Cons

Horrible Salaries. No bonus, no increase, no appreciation. Too big. Everybody should have their own group to come up in the the career. Management does not give a !!! if you are not happy. It is like Government Job! Promotions are for namesake. No money with promotions.
