Work-life balance.

Nice canteen. Good food.

Niece technology to work with, as per my experience.

Onshore partners are not always cooperative.

Had a supportive manager who was backing me against the technical lead who was taking all the good work and credit from the onshore partner.

If you don't play well, then you will be overburdened with silly work by your lead and not learn anything.

Managers are supportive and will back you up if you discuss your issues.

Be aware of the technical leads. Most of them are corporate dinosaurs, insecure about their own work. They will try to always bring you down. Very few leads are supportive and help you grow.

Don't be tempted by the canteen food or Diwali gifts. Please try to match the salary at least as per service-based companies. They will give you promotions, designations, and appreciation, except salary.

I did not get a raise for three years, and on the third year, I got a hike of 20%, which may sound nice but is way below the market standard if you see the actual number.

Don't play cheap tricks like sending appreciation emails or giving bigger designations. Ultimately, an employee needs a raise at least after 3 years.
