Pros

Well known brand Great work ethics in terms of delivering to the clients opportunity to work with a inspirational leadership team... top most management layer is really good.

Cons

Middle management is pathetic, at least in my development centre... Too much politics and even the promotions are quite often decided based on who knows whom..
