Pros

Hahaha really? Do I have to? The best part is that if you're dedicated enough to your career you'll find another job.

Cons

-Pay is, in a word, mediocre -No communication about things you actually need to succeed -Learning materials are misspelled and ineffective -You will go months between training and actual work -Was asked to move multiple times after being assured I'd be put in a permanent location...after I moved across the country! -You have to fight over clearly written policies when trying to file reimbursement claims -Relocation bonus is entirely insufficient -If you're like me, you'll actually be forgotten about. I had a few projects killed, and I think if I had stayed I could have sat for an entire year in a corner without something to do -Adding to the last point, we are talking about ~6 months of sitting in a corner playing crosswords and job searching with no communication -You won't know who your management is -HR will just make something up that you can't hold them to if they don't know the answers to your questions -You will be told to use things on the self service platform that it turns out only work in India -Self service platform has embarrassing UI for a supposed tech company -Your interests will not be considered in your stream placement -Training was conducted by some random woman they flew in from India who admitted she didn't teach the things she was supposed to. We were hopeless in our tests. -There were hurricanes near our training site and the only communication we got was reminding us to update our life insurance policy. -None of the technology works and it will be your problem always -Coworkers are generally fine but are so rude to the facilities employees, piling up trash and throwing out liquids. -Zero way to move up. The progression system is designed to utilize people cheaply until they die. The only way to be anywhere is seemingly to be hired into it. -The emails they send you are basically spam. -They blamed me for the obvious miscommunication in telling me to go somewhere I'd have nothing to do. Hello, it was in the offer letter! -They'll likely have you train on side of the country, then ask you to somewhere on the other side, neither of which is close to your home even though they will certainly be training people there. -Employees all speak foreign languages in the office. Nothing inherently wrong with that, except if you can only speak English don't expect to be chatting much with your coworkers or making many friends. -Those that do have work to do will have mandatory calls at 9pm usually. -Meetings being scheduled until 6pm even though you won't have anything to contribute. -Half our office got moved to a new office over an hour away with no increase in pay, and the possibility of a pay decrease if they moved closer. THAT'S NOT A JOKE. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT LOWERING PEOPLE'S PAY. -Benefits are pathetic. They think they can run it like they're still in India and that we won't notice. 401k plan is difficult to set up and they only just started doing matching. -Zero autonomy in American locations. Everything needs a whole day delay to get approved in India and it just doesn't make sense from a business perspective not to give American based management a budget and some freedom.

Pros

Happy place if you just want to enjoy life.

Cons

There is rampant compromise in values and impunity in every act of disgrace. The value-adherence once long cherished by the founders is long gone! There is exploitation of every situation. Clients are cheated on delivery front with mismanagement. It is shocking to see, some of the clients are also convinced to allow billing for projects in advance - who readily oblige as their budgets won't get consumed. In return favor, the delivery team helps such clients with extra work later. While doing so, the delivery team exploits the staff with multiple assignments by overloading. It is done particularly for on-site deployment with multiple deployments short staffing and overloading the real good and docile staff members to maintain profitability of projects and account. The lame-duck staff either falls in line and smart lot leaves. The quality of staff has deteriorated and the right thinking managers have also left the company in recent years. Now it is a porous and hollow organization with even the CEO level official accused of making millions in takeover deals and leaving the company under the cloud of doubts. The dishonest staff offers expensive gifts of gadgets and even money to managers during the performance reviews. The people who are willing to engage in such practices get good performance ratings and well paying onsite assignments. They are the ones who don't run risk of getting offloaded from projects when in the overseas posting. Managers openly threat their staff that would resist any wrongdoing about sending back to India, removing from project assignment in a brazen manner. Much recruitment is by personal favors. Quality of the most of the on-site staff of immigrant H1 employees is horrible. There are many people who are on US assignments who cannot talk two proper sentences in English. Spouses of many managers are accommodated in job for doing NOTHING!
