Free cab facility. Employee stock option

Way higher variable pay. Pune office is cost cutting center, hence piece of work that US people reject to do is typically delegated to Pune office Talent is not at all appreciated, rather discouraged

Pros

Principal offers unlimited time off

Cons

Company does not promote from within. If you want to move up in the company (or even move laterally to another department), don’t expect anything more than standardized emails saying you didn’t get the job.
