Stable job in tough economic times
Pros: Flexible work, good projects, technically strong colleagues, a lot to learn everyday
Cons: Some old style managers still have issues even with few work from home days. 
Some politics.
Salary is slightly below industry standard and raises/bonuses are only once per year (if at all) and that too amount is usually on the lower side of 0-10%.  
ESPP is not attractive at all.
No standards on team events. Some seem to have frequent outings, birthday celebrations, food for team, ice-creams; Other teams have almost none.
