Pros

-Great legacy -Wonderful work life balance -Flexible timings -Friendly managers -Good learning -Majority of projects are great -Hike is good. Atleast not bad.

Cons

-Pseudo government kind of company. If not much work, then you will become lazy if you don't put effort to learn on your own. Sometimes you get lot of free time. -Few projects doesn't have customers. -Few projects put so much mental pressure - managers give insignificant work just because you are employed -After acquiring Alcatel-Lucent, few projects are treated as step children. Some movement happened internally for employees between projects. Few are happy few are not . -With promotion you don't get extra salary for the new grade along with normal yearly hike.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
