Pros

You'll end up developing a habit of self-learning and documenting work, with the assumption that you won't be around to deal with its problems next time.

Cons

Purely executional work, driven only by deadlines, regardless of how experienced the teams are or how many challenges the products pose. No respect for fellow employees, and an overall air of anger from all higher management, translating to a revolving door of engineers.

No team members are between tenure ages of 4-10 years. You either leave by year 4 when RSU vests, or become part of the culture and stay another 10.

Advice to Management

Train your employees and grow knowledge in them if you want to retain talent. And stop outsourcing work to Asian teams if you want higher quality and accountability.
