1. Work life balance - although it varys from project to project but most folks have good WLB 2. Strong internal shared services 3. Good avenues to upskill - Free Udemy access (not all courses but there are more than enough), internal knowledge base, business unit sponsored certifications which are expensive outside 4. Job security - Since it is a big firm, layoffs are not very common
