      Senior associate

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Only benefit here is good medical policy

      Cons

      US management treat you like slave. If you have taking initiatives they will always pull legs. They will hire directly from vendor to make their life easy. And if you try to escalate things they will call you over weekend or over night and threatens you for your job.

      Poor at compensation, diversity and growth opportunities

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance and work from home opportunities

      Cons

      Promotion from within is very limited; compensation improvements within same position do not exist; bonuses rarely paid in full; diversity in SF office product and engineering specifically are basically for H1Bs only....pretty sad. Also, non performers are allowed to keep their job.

      Get ready for the layoffs -- all jobs moving to Pune India

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      No accountability as senior mgmt doesn't have a clue what actually happens. Come and go as you want, work from home as you wait for your job to be eliminated as all jobs are moving to the new office in Pune India

      Cons

      Knowing your job will be eliminated eventually , today 82% of all IT workers are TATA contractors in India, hard to get any work done as the outsourcing companies control everything
