Pros

It is a great company with great people. There are free Azure credits, free access to Copilot, and much more to learn.

Cons

India is always required to be a puppet to the US. Without USA alignment, the India team cannot do anything.

US folks control 90% of decision-making. They can block your pull request and give negative feedback, which eventually helps to retain talent.

Overtime is a common practice, and weekend workers are appreciated.

Even with these cons, if you can live with them, the company is really great. They do care, they support, a lot of learning is available, and of course, there are top talents to work with.
