Pros
  1. Good Salary
  2. Some interesting projects
  3. Ok Benefits
Cons
  1. Don't rely on VISA for your career growth. By the time you would have spent here, your peers in other companies would have learned much more.

  2. The focus is to deliver things. The quality of things doesn't matter at all. There are no unit test cases written, no code coverage taken care of, and no code reviews happen, etc.

  3. You will find you are working with people who don't know the C of Computer Science. If you start talking in terms of algorithms, data structures, operating systems, networks, etc., no one will really understand you except 5% of the people.

  4. Most of the projects don't involve building any systems or applications. They are just about understanding requirements and implementing changes in 3rd party frameworks.

  5. Again, you will be valued more in terms of the relationships you maintain rather than skills or talent you have.

Advice to Management

To be the Employer of Choice, it's not enough to just say the words. You need to start taking actions, with the first of them being that you hire smart people.
