Micromanagement Is Slowly Killing a Good Workplace
Pros
1. Strong and modern tech stack. 2. Good engineering practices and exposure to meaningful technologies. 3. US-based teams are generally knowledgeable, collaborative, and professional.
Cons
1. No tax-saving investment options for employees in India. 2. Lack of basic non-monetary benefits such as snacks, wellness programs, or employee wellbeing initiatives. 3. The India office culture has shifted heavily toward micromanagement, with employees being monitored for entry and exit timings. 4. Flexibility has been removed, and there are communications implying loss of pay for working from home. 5. This environment discourages ownership, trust, and long-term commitment. Given the current direction, it's difficult to recommend joining the India office.
