Pros
Better than average service based companies. Great learning opportunities. Access to great infra for work including hardware and software. Most of the colleagues are great to work with, its management / HR quality that needs a fix. Interview process will be awesome, but that would not translate into great work culture in India. If you let go of the cons and do not stress due to that, then work life balance will be great, I could not do that while waiting for grade change.
Cons
India management is similar or a bit worse than average service based companies. Learning opportunities will not translate into career growth unless you put in more hours for org and community events outside your project work. Layoffs happened in last two years, now asking a person to get out has become normal from this year. Pay is a bit higher than average service based companies. LTA opportunities are hidden from covid times. For QA, career can become stagnant if you join after 6-8 years of experience. Projects can be bad, release might not happen easily and it might put you in PIP, recently happened to a colleague. If you cannot get into a project within a month, they might ask you to leave.
