Pros

Good compensation, free meals, and decent day-to-day work make the company an attractive place to work.

Cons

The work culture can be challenging, with limited support from local management for career growth and development. Much of the work involves maintaining legacy systems rather than building new products or features. Technical ownership within the India team is limited, as key architectural and design decisions are primarily driven by the US team, resulting in fewer opportunities to contribute to system design or influence technical direction.
