Pros

Good work and helpful colleagues. Good environment overall. Good pay.

Cons

As usual, favoritism is present, and qualification is more important than contribution. (An M.Tech with average contribution gets promoted in 2 years.) Myself, after delivering a key milestone and receiving appreciation, was denied a promotion for 2 years.

Hectic schedules mean you can anticipate debugging sessions going until midnight or 2-3 AM, yet you are expected to show up at the office the same day at 9 AM.

Managers push the limits.
