Compensation and benefits are good in India offices. Work life balance depends on projects which is almost absent in IT.

Dislikes

You will just have n number of reorgs and will be asked to believe in them. Work is not present. Managers try to create work but its just like maintaining a already build house which can be done by a maid.
