Pros

Good brand, decent at work life balance, plenty of holidays,

Cons

To autocratic, one person makes all the decisions and rest have to follow. You need to be at the right place at the right time (senior management favoured projects) in the company to get any recognition. If not then you may even give your life to the company and it wont be recognised. Managers are biased and give ratings based on perceptions. India is only looked at as a cost reducing office. Even exceptional talent out here doesnt get adequately rewarded. Its worse than a KPO. Career development is a myth out here. Managers will try their best to hold you back so that you can continue to "serve" them and not let you move to better roles. Expect a lot of lies from managers. Lot of micro management. Frustrating and repetitive work with no expectation of growing within the firm. Compensation is a big problem. You may get a good hike when you join the firm. Do not fall for this trap like me cause post that you will only get microscopic increases in salary and there will be a pathetic reason by the management to justify that. High attrition (even at senior levels). No serious attempt at senior management to work on this.
