Pros

1) Comfortable working environment. 2) Free food and transport. 3) Some projects provide good exposure to the world markets and people at global level. 4) Quality products. I cannot think of more things.....

Cons

1) Very less compensations - HR department is just a made up story. Opportunities are not skill and qualification based. 2) Un-decisive managers. But they want control to the micro level. 3) Has union problems. The contract personal are not treated well. 4) No job security - irregular and illogical restructuring in place every year. 5) Managers have foolish justifications to cover up things. 6) Huge travel time to the office site. 7) Above all the R&D Bangalore had a 3 year bond period. 8) Not a positive learning environment - since mostly the people are just serving for too long. 9) The decisions to make and their implementation take ages. I can go on and on......
