Pros

Slightly better than average compensation, most people are overpaid Lunch and breakfast in cafeteria Good Insurance Coverage

Cons

Office politics and nepotism Promotions on the basis of time spent in company rather than performance In general no mentor-ship and help in personal growth from manager(prevalent), your background and interests are never considered. Very low increments with high performance ratings No work satisfaction, mostly bureaucracy consumes time even at fresher level Difficult to change teams within the organization Nobody in the surrounding has enthusiasm about their work Average work is appreciated as achievement.
