Pros
- Good pay (might not be the best in the industry but still better than bellwether competitors). - Great learnings on multiple technological fronts. - Good exposure to customer network deployments. - Good scope to broaden your skill set by participating in Virtual Tech Teams. - Peer review feedback system and flat hierarchy. - Extremely helpful peers and excellent work culture. More or less works in a startup mode.
Cons
- No yearly increments. You'll get your salary increment when you cross your review level. It may take 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, there is no fixed timeline to it. - Your reviews/rankings are not disclosed to you, so you wouldn't know exactly at what ranking level you are in. - Constant push from managers to be loaded with tasks other than your primary assignment. Task juggling and constant context switching can become too hard at times. - No work-life balance. You'll spend a solid 12 hours working everyday stretching upto midnight, sometimes beyond. You are expected to do too many things on the side. - If you resign, you are an enemy of the state, you'll be pushed out within a couple of days, a week at best. You'll have a tough time guessing whether you left on your own accord or you just got fired :) - In India, the RSUs are pretty less when compared to US peers though we are expected to perform on par with them.
