Pros: The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.

Cons: Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly. Think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc. The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process. The team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined, and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.

Pros: Market leaders, customers like our services.

Cons: Big company, changes take time.

Pros: Great work-life balance. Can work on all possible technologies, end-to-end. Very flexible. Good place to settle after some 8+ years of experience. Very good initial pay package. You'll get more only if you get promoted. No or less intermediate hikes.

Cons: No salary hikes, very rare travel chances, and no opportunity to save money if you travel. Sometimes only bug fixing, less coding, and documentation work. A very independent work culture. Most people are disconnected or spread out. Most of the real R&D happens in the US and other countries. Some product teams have only small customizations or porting of code to new hardware only.
