Pros

Good starting pay and reasonable benefits provided. Bonus may go as high as 4-5 months during good years. Good for retirement as management does not require staffs to work overtime as long as work is done on time.

Cons

Lack of career advancement. Successor of higher positions are often the person holding one position lower and the whole team gets "promoted". Such promotion does not comes with pay increment but a mere re-position. Hence, not somewhere someone could stay long if looking at getting promoted within 3 to 5 years. Tough to outshine if holding a low position as management does not recognise the efforts of the preparer.

Pros

Good location. They preach a lot of good company values and act like a good employer but you are a number to them. They do not care about you at all. They are worried about the bottom line while bleeding money everywhere unnecessarily due to bad senior management. They would rather send jobs overseas and to India than invest in any customer or employee.

Cons

They lie. Make empty promises to keep you on board. When buying a company and integrating they have every intention of letting everyone go from the company they purchased. VP’s and Top leadership will tell you the opposite, then pull the rug after some time.
