Pros

Big organisation, lots of opportunities to learn and improve career and skillset. Management is looking after teams well. There is a push for uptaking bleeding-edge technologies. You can get awarded stocks and bonuses for good work.

Cons

US companies do have a culture of overworking and burnout. Some of the teams in India stay on for almost 16 to 18 hours, which destroys any work-life balance and creates poor quality work. Even though they are closing sprints and ticking boxes to make higher management happy, they leave for a new job, leaving all their crap piled up.

Advice to Management

You do a great job of taking care of your employees, but I think as a company we should focus on quality work delivery instead of the number of features, which ends up us having codebases that make developers who have to maintain them cry.
