Pros

Salary on time Cab service Great office space

Cons

Company is going through a cost-cutting phase so currently are firing folks. Your employment contract has no meaning here, they will change contract when they feel like it, with no chance of negotiation. Talent has no relevance here, its all about what needs to be done to please the management in US. Folks at US have no idea how they are being tricked by Indian managers to stretch the project timelines. Join the company at your own perils, if you only want to do menial job. Increments are peanuts and promotion cycles are really really long. Promotions and recognition are only offered to folks who will be nodding yes to whatever manager says, no questions asked. Engineering managers have sub standard technical skill set and have little to no knowledge of platform they work in. Placing people on PIP is common here.

Lots of turnover that hurts a company that does write it's how to do things down. Challenging market that takes market share consistently.
