RecommendsNegative Outlook
Pros

Good work-life balance. Flexible work-from-home facility. Good shift allowances. Good career opportunities (only if you push yourself to learn more. The company will promote your additional skills, but they won't push you to do additional trainings). Fair yearly increment (above 10% on average).

Cons

No onsite opportunity.

If you are lucky and get to travel to any location, it will be of short duration (3 months max).

Meagre allowances if you are on onsite.

GLT Management is not good.

Advice to Management

Most of the workforce here work in an individual capacity and they directly report to the business. I haven't seen any manager here do any credible work or contribute to the project. They just cascade information from the core management (your application owners, mostly sitting in the UK/HK). They take your feedback from these core managers and give you ratings. Basically, they just act as their puppets. And you end up having two managers.

Advice to management: Not much management is required, actually. You are redundant.
