Pros

You do get paid. Work from home.

Cons

Seniority and experience mean nothing here anymore as it is now owned and operated by India.

Your past achievements at the company mean nothing to anyone and you will be treated like a child.

If you like working 60-90 hours a week, then this is the place for you.

The 10, 13, and 18 years of service and the millions you’ve personally saved with your direct efforts alone mean nothing to anyone, and you should not expect recognition or monetary compensation as a result.

Your manager is 99% likely to be in India now, and there will be little to no communication with that person.

Your Indian “co-workers” (oxymoron) will:

  • Take credit for your work.
  • Bad-mouth and make false claims against you to management throughout the year to ensure their promotion/raise over you.
  • Use titles they haven’t earned, like “senior” and “team lead”.
  • Be ignorant of basic software concepts and incapable of delegating work appropriately.
  • Eventually take your job through offshoring.

If you enjoy backhanded comments, people stabbing you in the face and in the back at the same time, then this is the place for you.

If you enjoy devoting yourself for 13+ years to a company only to have them slap you in the face with false claims so that they can legally fire you and move your job to India, then this is the place for you.

To top off the experience, you’re guaranteed to be fired or downsized by an Indian you’ve never met working in the US under HR.
