Pros

Liberal HR Policies No micromanagement by India Management since everyone reports into employees based out of US or UK who focus only on the outcome. You can get good starting pay if you come thru a strong referral from US/UK.

Cons

Cost-arbitrage company packaged as GCC No job security; firing of people is very frequent. compensation provided is quite decent though. India Leadership is just for namesake. They do not hold any authority/accountability and play no role in any decision making, not even performance appraisals. You need to find a god-father in US/UK to last in the company. Annual increments and Variable payouts are like Tier 1 Indian IT Giants. You know what I mean. :-) There are various groups active such as Bangalore -ve non-Bangalore, Pre-aquisiotion -vs post-aquisition, ex-clarivate -vs non-ex-clarivate. Once has to be very apt in dealing with these dynamics to survive in the company.
