Pros

Reasonable work life balance, market standard compensation (please check other parameters and hidden problems while deciding to join)

Cons

Worst management (India) consisting irresponsible and incompetent individuals. Hiring engineers and managers without proper road-map and plan. There is an internal struggle for identity. Incompetent managers and director in at least one group. Vendor is getting engaged for work (powerful beneficiaries and back channel interests with management) while in-house engineers don't have enough work. Laying off engineers intermittently without rationale. I am also part of management but could not stop or correct all of these. I am paying price for my attempt to bring changes. There is a regional bias in the company ~ VP, director, powerful managers in a group are all from a specific Indian state ~ and they appreciate and take care of engineers from that state alone! Worst atmosphere I have seen ever in my 20+ years of career.

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
