Pros

Great work-life balance.

Decent salary, not a paymaster.

Great on-campus facilities compared to other companies in India.

Good employee benefits.

Cons

Bloated expat managers.

All top management and their subordinates are expats who come to India for a vacation for a few years before relocating back to the US.

Very hard to get promoted.

Relocation to the US is really very hard, especially if you were hired within India. However, it's a piece of cake for those who came from the US.

Indian hires are not treated on par with their NRI counterparts working in India.

Too much bureaucracy.

No room for meritocracy.

Managers are biased towards employees who have the same or similar technical skill sets as them. So employees in adjacent domains are always ignored.

Hardly a few groups work on good technology. You will find that the business model in India is more like a services model.

Advice to Management

I don't think management is going to take feedback seriously, so there's no point in specifying it to them.
