Pros

One of the best companies when it comes to salary or employee friendly policy (on paper).

Cons

Management is really a pain. If you have a good manager as your direct reporting, then you can flourish like anything. Promotions will happen in every two year, Projects will come under you without much efforts. 2 digits yearly increment is possible. If you have a bad manager - things can be difficult, you can go under PIP, get fired in the three months pip review period, will have to work under tremendous fake pressure. Most assistant managers are under pressure due to the incompetency of their AVP's.

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
