Pros
  1. Lots of freebies and low-value trinkets.
Cons

Maintenance or low-value work, like report generation, etc., or vaporware in India. Any project that shows traction gets pulled to the US or Israel. Mediocre to poor engineering leadership; the India organization is expected to be yes-men. Extreme politics; survival is impossible without toeing some or other faction. Talent is actively discouraged. The past couple of years have seen huge attrition of key talent. They are filling it up by converting contractors from low-grade services companies to FTEs. At the current market rate, pay levels are 50% of any other companies in Bangalore right now.

Advice to Management

Close down IDC. Low-level work can be contracted out, as it brings no real value.

Revamp Engineering leadership and bring in some at least moderately good talent.

Reduce promoting the woke activism/politics in the workplace.
