Pros

Work from Home facility. Good salary given while joining, good bonus(variable) pay. Job safety. Branding. Respect in industry and from Clients. Company has deep pockets and gives good facilities to its employees. Good resources(study material) for improving our technical and domain knowledge. Good number of earned, casual and sick leaves. Company cares well for its employees. Work culture is good as its based on Mutual trust and respect. Get good knowledge on their products. The offices contain Gymnasium which is very good.

Cons

Promotions can take little bit more time than as compared to other companies. Some times company may not give annual salary increments. Onsite opportunities are very rare and if they exist it would be mostly short term and even in that you cannot make money(from per diem) as company would keep you in the best of hotels and provide you with the best of transportation and best of food but for all this company would pay directly. Its not like you can save anything. So you can work and enjoy your onsite stay but saving some money is not possible unlike other IT-Service based companies which pay you some money in cash for food and transport etc.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
