Business Outlook

Pros

Perks like free lunch and free cab pickup and drop. Work life balance can be maintained. Work is decent most of the times, sometimes it's really bad.

Cons

Poor higher management both locally and globally. Work allocated can be better. Less politics in teams will be appreciated.

Nobody bothers you. A lot of vacation days.

Off-shoring of jobs. Endless bureaucracy and meetings. Security concerns make everything painful. Spend more time configuring files than writing actual code.
