Pros

> Work-Life balance > Benefits > Great People

Cons

> Starting stage: Interns get higher position just after the internship, Graduates don't get promoted even after giving strong performance for 1-2 years > Great transparency: Managers directly tell you to please before higher Engineers/other Managers to get promotion even if you don't work with them > No Learning > Only show-off works, not real work (Power points) > Re-org happens every 6 months, then reshuffle happens frequently in a team, your manager gets changed at every Re-org/reshuffle, Every time try to understand styles of different managers, different rules for promotion, different types of pleasing based on managers > You don't give correct reasons from the management behind not getting promoted > You need to ask for promotion even after giving consistent strong performances, then they will plan; that also depends on style of manager > Talk loud, Do nothing

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
