Pros
  • Pay / benefits
  • You can make some very close relationships (because the culture is a crucible of volatility)
Cons

Indians have essentially promoted themselves and used nepotism to turn engineering into largely an Indian enterprise.

My Indian manager used abusive tones, coercion, and gaslighting towards his direct reports and other staff, but the culture creates an atmosphere where these people are thriving because they're getting "results".

So many coworkers are existing in silent suffering because they need the income.

Quarterly layoffs remove older, experienced workers and roll their responsibilities into remaining employees.

Yearly shoehorning of "interns" from colleges into your team, whom management uses to keep an atmosphere of "you are replaceable" at all times, and often does replace existing staff with interns they then hire.

HR is not your friend and works with management to create a smokescreen until they are able to lay off workers who speak out against abusive managers.

Forced to get a vaccination or lose my income through coercive language from HR and my managers.

Company repeatedly promises employees, then reverses and gaslights employees who speak out about the behavior, such as when Dell promised they were going to let employees be remote, then lied and said they never meant it.

Advice to Management

Get ready to lose money.
