if you want to give lot of free service, then join. otherwise dont join

Software qa engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

More than 90% of the managers and workers are from a specific region. They often request a lot of free services. If you are willing to provide those free services, then join here; otherwise, it might be best to ignore this company.

Cons

If you feel comfortable working with people who may have challenging mentalities, then join here; otherwise, it's best to leave this company without wasting any time. Mostly, there's no bonus, and if one is given by mistake, you will find yourself spending more money even on a cheap domestic flight. They will negotiate a lower salary even after you've signed up. I don't understand why the USA supports this company to do business with people from this specific region.

Pay gaps may exist between onsite and offshore employees, with some feeling onsite compensation could be more competitive. 2.

Not a company for the Western world

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They will respond to any and every request for information and request for pricing without the importance of qualifying an opportunity.

Cons

Due to the amount of expats that are hired into the anglophone companies, there's a disparity in pay, cultural nuances, and the modus operandi is obedience. There is this drive to exclude native employees from promotion and a dark hidden side where expats are threatened into submission or face deportation back to India.
