Pros

Work-life balance is okay if you keep your head down, don’t ask questions, and don’t create a ‘job threat’ to US employees.

Cons

* Very high racism and bias from US management towards Indian employee. decisions, visibility, and recognition are skewed. Indian engineers often get sidelined or under-credited, regardless of contribution. 1) Very limited access for engineers; a lot of “read-only” culture, so you can’t really get hands on. 2) Knowledge sharing is poor, no proper documentation, or structured onboarding. 3) Some teammates hoard information or showcase others’ work as their own, which kills collaboration. 4) Bureaucratic — multiple teams involved for simple requests, approvals take forever. Growth is slow. You may not get opportunities beyond the narrow scope assigned.

Pros

The company is fantastic, and my coworkers are truly a pleasure to work alongside. While there are challenges in production, collaborating with stores and partners to resolve issues is both rewarding and fulfilling.

Cons

Long working hours often required, which can affect work-life balance. Compensation does not reflect the level of effort and contributions expected from employees. Frequent management changes make it difficult to maintain continuity and ensure that previous contributions are valued and built upon.
