Pros: 1. You will have sufficient time for your family and work.
2. You will not feel high work pressure as most of the work is going to be useless.
3. Career growth would be good if you know how to drive the thing which can highlight to higher management. You don't have to be a smart or geek engineer, but you have the attitude of a bureaucratic manager.
4. Salary is better than most companies, except for a few others.
Cons: 1. Less learning opportunity.
2. You will not get good motivation in work as the work culture is not what it used to be earlier. Now the focus has shifted from core innovation to business.
3. Very frequent re-orgs. It becomes very hard to settle new guys into the team.
4. Here developers are mostly focused in covering their areas so that they should have secure jobs. It makes it very hard for new hires to get settled as very few would be interested in sharing their work.
