Pros

Good quality of work Developer gets to learn from good quality code of great products Good people Complete ownership for quite some products from India

Cons

Bad Managers, lot of cost cutting going on currently as a result facilities are poor. India's Upper management treats the employees as slaves and think they are masters Very arrogant and nonsensical upper management of India Salary is not on par with the amount of work expected Too much workload. Treats employees as resource and has no good retention policy People in management frame their own rules and remember managers are all powerful and whoever licks his a** can become high performer.

Great opportunity to learn from incredibly smart people, many opportunities to continue education, great for independent workers, not so for entry

Upper management forgets that first line managers need training. You need a thick skin to survive them
