Pros

What is work life balance if there is no work to do?

Cons

I work as a Senior Technical Architect in Target India. What that means is that you are basically a Sr. Tech lead. So their career ladders in technical streams are 1) Sr. Tech Arch Consultants 2) Tech Arch Consultants 3) Sr. Tech Arch' 4) Tech Arch 5) Associate tech arch 6) Tech Lead / Sr software engineer So positions 3 and 4 are jobs that are lowest rung in senior tech ladders, but in end of day it is about politics and having to please people in minneapolis who dont value positions fom 3 downwards. So most of the time the Managers / Delivery managers will say to onsite that we dont have technical expertise and do whatever minneapolis counterparts say. My point to management is , you might not be technical but there are still good technical people who are subjugated to politics like this and our voice is not heard. This is a strictly heirarchial company, so if ou question too much, you are branded a bad team player !!!! shocking isnt it. Please stay away from here, dont come here because you dont have any leeway and you cannot give any design proposal, because everything will need blessing from minneapolis. Learning and development is limited and almost zero now in some divisions because vendors do the work and we dont have authority to even do a code review on vendor code. So you can imagine
