Pros
  1. Good infrastructure.
  2. Build systems; proprietary home-grown applications are good.
  3. Many hard-working people here.
  4. Highly professional people.
Cons
  1. No work-life balance. Work long hours, have on-calls, and log in from home.
  2. Absolutely not suitable for married people or anyone who just doesn't want to only work in his/her life. You cannot have any other commitments.
  3. Politics. The intensity depends on the team.
