Pros

Free parking and being in low traffic location.

Cons

Besides the low pay, this offshore "answer" ends up being the mojo contributing to a culture that exemplifies the many absurdities that might be found in a Dilbert cartoon (i.e - on demand seating policy at this facility for instance). It's Beige Man, in not only the physical surroundings, but in the energy, the vibe, the leadership/management of people. Creative, Innovative, and status-quo challengers will find it stifling and consistent with the same ole' lumbering bureaucracy where people are just numbers to be manipulated.

Pros

1. Exposure to latest technologies 2. Interfacing with best in the business experts, SMEs, architects 3. Some flexibility to work from home, unlimited casual leaves as long as your manager is on good terms 4. Reimburse quite a lot of expenses which you wouldnt be able to in other companies, and you only need manager approval 5. Shift allowance and night shift can add upto 2L 6. Yearly Bonus apart from variable component to the tune of 70k upto 1.5L if you are on good terms with manager

Cons

1. Cost cutting 2. Transport sucks 3. 'Bond's for anything and everything 4. 3 month notice while quitting 5. Long service agreements for even a short onsite trip, eg, serve 6 months for 1 month trip, serve 1 year for 3+ month trip. 6. GDF/Lean process is driving people crazy 7. Flexible options like work from home are slowly becoming scarce 8. Unless you are a very critical resource, they will never hike your salary
