Pros

Not that I know of. If you count Indian lunch potlucks where Indians share food and disallow Americans from joining as a pro, then it is.

Cons

Toxic management. Strictly tracked 4 day a week in the office where you sit by yourself or next to your lousy co-workers and still expect to work at night with offshore resources. Threat of layoffs and replacement by offshore resources are constant. Competitions among onshore and offshore are cut throat as in hunger games.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
