Pros

The only Pros is that there is no Pros. You will be stuck at a salary if you are hired in US or Canada or will be paid much less than the people they are importing from INDIA

Cons

This company does discrimination openly taking advantage of the governments loopholes. People who are Green card holders of USA or PR card holders of Canada or if you are a citizens , you will get less salary than the person coming from so called offshore (INDIA) because they are on work permit and the company has to show their documents to the government for approval. the govt. will reject if they are not providing market prevailing rates. When you ask the HR (first of all they have no clue about their job) they will shoot some emails internally and the response will come that your salary is according to the GCM Grid . This grid was updated 10 years ago may be or God knows when. This is pure discrimination with US and Canadian employees. Just because our paperwork does not have to go to the Government for visa approval since we are already have a PR/GC or citizenship here. About time this gets reported to the media. I wonder how will it reflect on company's image they have built with clients. You will be losing as much as 10-15k a year just because you are not a deputee from OFFSHORE and are a US or Canadian employee. Shame on You ! I hope the government finds this discrimination soon and show them the way out of US.
