Pros

Company is stable and dominant in most market segments it operates in. You can come across wide range of fields from software, electronics, optics and mechanical engineering and math.

Cons

Not a very good place for someone looking for growth in terms of their software engineering skills. Most of the time you will have to work with old code base and spend time in maintenance work like: defect fixing and escalations as a software developer.

If you land in a solid group and right time the job can be very stable too.

Advice to Management

Do not blindly do off shoring work. You need your employee to be motivated not feared, thinking that they are going to lose jobs soon due to off shoring.
