Pros

1- Good understanding OFFSHORE fellow workers. 2- Office attendance post covid is not mandatory, so you probably can work from home entirely with minimum office visits. (Honestly, this is a con but can be a pro for few folks)

Cons

1. Uncapped Working Hours: There’s no regard for work-life balance. A typical workday starts between 9–10 AM and can easily stretch past midnight. This is likely the reason the company remains fully WFH—there’s simply no boundary between work and personal life. 2. Unmet Salary Promises: Despite the firm projecting solid performance in quarterly reviews for the past two years, salary hikes and bonuses have consistently remained in the low single digits. The usual explanation? “Budget constraints” or “missed targets.” In reality, even top performers receive only marginally better hikes—often just 1–2% more than the lowest-rated employees. 3. Onshore-Offshore Power Imbalance: A clear divide exists between onshore and offshore teams. Onshore team members often take credit for work done offshore, increase offshore workload without support, and provide biased feedback to protect themselves. Promotions are frequently skewed in favor of onshore, even in cases where individuals have lost major clients or underperformed. 4. Passive Offshore Leadership: While offshore leadership is aware of these issues, they either lack the will or the power to act. Most of the senior onshore team has already exited the company, and several offshore members are actively seeking opportunities, leaving the organization in a precarious and unstable state. There are several other concerns, but these are the most pressing. The culture has changed significantly, and not for the better.
