Pros

Nothing as such to mention except the annual day party.

Cons

1. Too much favouritism. 2. Too many Lay offs now and then. 3. Leadership is clue less 4. Management is worst. 5. Main HR from India does no work to improve company policy. 6. The worst HR I have ever seen. 7. US leadership does too much micromanagement which I have only in this company. 8. US leadership becomes very rude at times with India team. 9. Cyber security team has too many projects so one person has to work on many projects. 10. No work life balance. 11. No career growth, even after 5 years on the same position and designation 12. Hikes % are very low. 13. There is no control or hold of company from INDIA. 14. Waste of time working from india office.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
