Likes

Compensation is good..bonus etc are good ... But there is no job security .. every year they will do force resignation ,if there is a slight decline company revenue.. Work satisfaction depends on which project you are working.. Upper level management keeps on getting changed, due to politics..

Dislikes

Management keeps on getting change due to politics and cost cutting.. Too many rework.. Many project are good, but there some bad project also.. depends on you luck..better in the interview ask about the project and what kind of work it will be..

Until you resign, managers will not recognize your worth. Pay is less when compared with competitors. Promotions happen rarely. Managers will not allow you to take leaves.
