Pros

- Wide variety of domains - Environment conducive to innovate - Flexible work culture (but ofcourse depends on which gem of a manager you are under) - Good benefits to employees (like competitions, extra curricular activities etc) - Willingness by the top management to make the necessary changes (but like politics hardly trickles down to low level employees) - Good onsite opportunities

Cons

- Lots of politics inside teams - Incapable middle level managers - Useless performance appraisal process. You get "by default" promotions if you had stayed in the designation for more than a certain period regardless of performances. However, if you do perform well, you still stay in the same position because of brilliant normalization process
