Pros

You are associated with a top brand.

Cons

You are like a tiny fish in the ocean. It takes you years to get recognized for your work unless you are attractive. Indian managers involve in favoritism. US managers are very professional. Indian managers don't really care about your personal commitments. US managers do understand that you have a life outside the office. Indian managers are very cunning when it comes to dealing with an employee new to the profession. They are never clear about what they are exactly looking for in your job. They make you feel like a data entry operator. US managers give employees the space to work. They trust the employee and give them difficult projects for that they can showcase their skills. The pay hike is HORRIBLE!!! expect not more than 5-8% pay hike every two years. The most ironical fact is that you get promotions more frequently than you get pay hikes. Technical writers don't get any bonus. LESSON LEARNT: Do not go by the brand name.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
