Pros

Not busy if no ddl incoming

Cons

Toxic management – Managers tend to micromanage, take things for granted, and often fail to recognize real contributions. Lack of knowledgeable senior engineers – The US team does not have anyone genuinely helpful. Many simply pretend to be “helpful” while doing very little actual work. To make matters worse, managers often trust these individuals, and you end up being blamed when things go wrong. They sometimes even take credit for others’ work. Unreliable colleagues – Many developers focus on faux-innocent talk rather than meaningful contributions. They make up daily updates, provide useless guidance, and are unable to design or make decisions without support from European colleagues.
