Pros: Good benefits. Good training programs. Support to move around, though internal mobility is a big joke, you wont be considered for bonuses or hikes for that year. Benefits are OK. Keep always training yourself, your rating may be unfairly downgraded, to avoid paying bonuses. They may use that excuse to lay you off or to make you move.
Cons: Zero or no growth opportunity. You will remain stuck, if you are in middle office technology. Work pressure would remain, your manager will try to plot against you to preserve his compensation. There is no sense of fairness in the company. You should get everything recorded in PMC. Try to collect as many reviews as possible in PMC.

Everyone is a fraudster all the way from manager to MDs. They will squeeze technology to extent possible. Tech managers will plot to get rid of you. No one has any ethics or sense of fairness. They do not tell you anything about growth or rating practices. Same is prevalent across the company, everyone feels short changed. So they screw each other and once in a while screw the company. That's why you find the company getting fined almost every year. 

They should reveal their compensation practices to employees at time of on boarding.  Also they should reveal rating policies and their impact. Do not make any internal move, its huge waste of time. Look always for yourself. Their logo is to do First class business in a first class way and to treat their employees in a third class way. Sometimes MDs are also aware of their practices, but would keep quiet to avoid problems for themselves and to get work done.
