Pros
  • Very good work-life balance.
  • Very supportive US counterparts.
  • Very good culture among colleagues.
Cons

Among the worst management, most have risen to leadership roles due to chance and not really due to abilities.

Leadership drowned in politics, who will patronage employees of their preference. This leads to unfair appraisals and promotions. Even who gets better work and who does not is completely dependent on the leadership.

Lots of freshers are hired from the best colleges in India only to do work which does no justice to their abilities.

Salaries are not the best unless you are close to your managers.

Advice to Management

As a technical organization, the top leadership in India should ensure all managers are technically well-qualified. There have been many cases where managers do not understand anything about the work employees are doing, either because they lack sufficient exposure or have no inclination to stay up-to-date with current developments.

The US leadership is great, but their Indian counterparts fall far short of the mark.
