Pros

- A lot of interesting projects - Proposed compensation was well above that I expected - I've got my green card in 2 years after first day - Great CEO with very ambitious plans

Cons

- not much benefits in office (no free food etc) - on-calls - if you are not doing well in your current project, most probably you will be fired - no chance to switch if you under-performing

Pros

Learn new stuff. If you go to good team and work under a good manager you are lucky.

Cons

Pass feedback to HR, they would share with management Rogues and immature managers lead large teams. No goals set, reviews are wishy washy, no official written reviews shared Manager has to like you, else you are doomed. Senior management is too busy to hear you. Didn't have any context on you or product. Associates team in Bangalore is one such team, heavy attrition with jokers as senior managers.
