Pros

Still has good name in industry. Good if you want to god for further education. Good benefits. Gym and Insurance. Pay is bit less but ok. Esp if you are in ECE domain. Not for CSE guys.

Cons

Hyderabad has mostly grunt mindless work. Makes company look like a glorified services company. Very few teams have work which is good for your career enhancement and being put in that team depends mostly on luck. Freshers from the best Indian colleges are put in random projects. Ppl who were good at programming in college are put in teams where minimal technical challenges are there. Team specific training is almost non-existent. Lack of proper documentation about processes. Seniors are happy to just complete their work and don't care about freshers. Either you will be given ridiculous amount of work with no training, or you will be given no work at all many days as seniors are busy in just handling all themselves and don't care about freshers gardual learning growth. Most freshers stay only for 1-2 years because of this messed up work culture. If you are talented and hungry for challenging problems(regardless of hw/sw domain) this is not the place for you. You can search on linkedin how long freshers stay here. Middle managers are mostly incompetent. Zero feedback mechanism from freshers. Any feedback given is just thrown away and not acted upon. You should be very lucky to have a good team/good mentors here.

- Most of us get an office with a door - Great access to very current technology - Plenty of places to park - Friendly people in the halls - Looks great on a resume

Cons

- Uncompetitive salaries - pay is mediocre at best - Poor benefits, bad health coverage - Low morale - NO JOB SECURITY - Stagnant management; not a lot of advancement opportunity - No raises in 18+ months - Culture is "Work long hours, keep your head down, don't ask questions, be glad you didn't get laid off."

Pros

Flexible schedules that allow for time off for various family commitments Great benefits (this actually died in 2016 when the plan was changed to a Bronze level) There are a lot of really talented and intelligent folks here...you have a great opportunity to learn a lot

Cons

Company will bring H1-B or L1-B employees to the USA to fill positions that current US staff are more than qualified to fill... People in leadership roles that have no business holding such a position LOUSY team culture!! This is a shame as once it was quite a bit different... Limited direction from management as to potential paths to proceed, but the same management is very quick to assign blame when projects go awry. Inability to listen to customer requirements and adequately understand decisive next steps. Too many relatives of senior management are hired with little to no experience
