Pros

Nothing really, unless you do not care much about your career and just want to hide in a cubicle firm until they hunt and throw you out. Of course, you have to deal with ill-mannered, clueless managers on a daily basis.

Cons
  1. Technology-wise, the India center is expected to toe the line of the US office, with no clear direction and spread too thin over many technologies. There is always an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear.

  2. By their own admission, there are no career growth opportunities unless you have a US patent against your name.

  3. There's no communication or involvement for employees; they just want cheap labor to write their lines of code. The archaic technologies and processes are a hopeless confusion of many names.

  4. Too big, clunky, and bureaucratic, it thrives on political games.

  5. There's no real appraisal or review process. Compensation is solely management discretion.

  6. Even director-level employees in India are ceremoniously fired.

Advice to Management

It's beyond advice, especially in India.
