Pros

Salary - There are not much of deduction and shift allowance are good.

Cons

I had different team mentioned in the offer letter and they changed the team on the 1st day. They ask you to work for 12 hrs even though you complete your target. Management doesn't care for your health ( all they need is to complete the target ) Forget about your health and work life balance.

Pros

Decent compensation lots of benefits - free cab, meals, etc. Good management in general growing company, reached ~1,000 in India a short period

Cons

Growth opportunities have been limited so far. The benefits of rapid growth seems to have benefited limited set of people. Technology infrastructure is bad, I have seen multiple system crashes happen resulting in overtime and loss of productivity. Still using old systems be it for communication or collaboration. The available tools are from the last decade or older. If you are promising best technology to customers, start with you employees. we were using same time and office 2010 till last year, Imagine that. even the upgrade is to office 2016 and Skype. I don't think even Microsoft uses Skype.

Pros

Good focus and priority by CTO to Bangalore team. India Head is approachable to individuals. Recognition for individuals every month and team every qtr. Free Transportation and Food. Operations division has growth in headcount.

Cons

Stagnated growth in terms of head count in technology. Chromebook in lieu of regular laptops, which is a cost cutting measure without value add. US counterparts take credit for work completed by offshore folks. Some US managers and AVP's expect offshore associates to work on weekends / India holidays / festivals.
