Pros

If you have absolutely no talent and want to be doing simplistic work that is not related to Software Development, this is your place. Also, previous Head of Office already left, that is a good thing.

Cons

Leadership is non-existing. The few Managers that are good are overshadowed by their dumb superiors, who are clueless and only go through the motions. These type of people's only talent is boot licking and ear greasing. No sales team in Monterrey. Every decision has to be made by India. Indian Leaders often non respectful of local country's values. The company values tell you something that in practice does not exist. Unfriendly HR policies. Most projects are unrelated to the assigned training area, and career paths are irrelevant.
