Pros

The pay is good and it looks pretty solid on a resume.

Cons

No matter how high your performance, you never know from one day to the next whether this is the day your entire team will be laid off and you'll see job listings for your exact duties in Mumbai. There's not enough security to commit to buying a house or a car, there's always the fear that your income will end next week.
