Pros

-Very good work life balance -Very supportive US counter-parts -Very good culture among colleagues.

Cons

-Among the worst management & most of risen to leadership roles due to chance & not really dude to abilities. -Leadership drowned in politics who will patronage employees of their preference. This leads to unfair appraisals & promotions. Even who gets better work & who does not is completely dependent on the leadership -Lots of freshers are hired from the best colleges in India only to do work which does no justice to their abilities -Salaries are not the best unless you are close to your managers

Pros

Starting salary is good, the pension for older employees (which is no longer offered to new hires), starting vacation time and vacation growth, freedom to come and go as you please as long as your work gets done, freedom to take time off whenever you feel like.

Cons

Salary grows at a snails pace, management does not know you exist, promotions don't appear to be given out on a performance basis but instead by nepotism, long hours, little reward, subjective performance evaluation system, senior management consistently makes decision that aren't transparent to anyone below them, constantly having to do useless hr activities, constantly have to take useless online training, constantly forces to do activities that reduce your productivity, engineer is done by a large committee (everyone feels they should be involved regardless of how small GE project is)
