RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros

Free cab, free snacks (with a cap), NPS matching contribution, limited WFH options.

The CEO is a really great person; this shows in the organization's work culture.

Selected certification reimbursement.

Impetus on modernization of legacy applications.

Cons

The off-shore/on-shore work split is pathetic. The cream of the work and the credits for work done by off-shore are stolen by on-shore. You only get to scrape the bottom of the barrel and fix the mess created by on-shore.

Trust issues and politics. Merit always takes second position. On-site opportunities are limited to the chosen ones.

Huge restrictions on personal investing.

Advice to Management

Offshore counterparts are equally, if not better than those in Onshore. The old guard is not always right; please listen to the offshore as well. Give more power to offshore management.
