Pros

Friendly working environment. People are candid. Culture matters.

Cons

Perks are not as good as those internet companies, but are kind of well played in the storage industry (or system-level company in general), maybe after VMware.

Cooperation with team players in Bangalore is kind of a pain sometimes due to the timezone. Plus, some of them are very unresponsive to working emails, making me think they're not working.

Investment in India might be too much and not exactly worth it in my opinion.

Advice to Management

Re-evaluate the Bangalore site's efficiency, especially headcount. The decision to invest enormously in it about two years ago has increased our headcount and thus our operating cost, without yielding the desired efficiency.
