...(MS) holder from University of Texas at Arlington, USA are paid the same salary. Very huge pay disparity. No equal pay for equal work. Very racist and biased. Managers make false promises of promotions and very gradual pay hike. No meritrocracy. All degrees are the same. Doesnt matter if you worked until 3AM on projects to earn your STEM degree. BE and US STEM degrees are dirt cheap in India. US Management plays favorites.

Dislikes

1. Entire work on few people in project, others will relax and take same salary or in many cases more than you. 2. Less clients and more internal projects which makes promotion delay, unless there is huge dependency you won't get promotion. 3. Promotion depend on no of employees under manager and his budget not on performance. 4. They will release from project just before appraisal so you won't get neither appraisal nor promotion.
