Pros

+ great work life balance + company/managers take good care of you + hard-to-get-fired environment + lots to learn as a fresher straight out of college; but run after a couple years! + great training programs and resources

Cons

- Culture of maintaining the status quo - No engineering enthusiasm, best effort engineering only - Poor UI framework (RAPID!!) - No engineering heirarchy (no engineering level above Sr. Software engineer!!) - No free lunch; a lot of the cafeteria snacks are not healthy
