Pros: - Work-life balance
- 2 days WFH
Cons: - Late US working hours.
- US engineers treat Indian engineers like second-grade workers.
- No appraisals (yes, you read that right; there are no yearly appraisals or bonuses, and they hide it while hiring you).
- No promotions (again, they hide this during interviews).
- No appraisals + No promotions + Maintenance Projects = No growth.
- If some project gains traction, there's a good chance that the US will take over.
