High exposure to onshore team. Decent bonus payout. US MNC culture so beyond a point professionalism is adhered.

Highly incompetent VPs and Top management. Wrong hires across top management. No visibility for team expansion. High disregard to women when it comes to maternity or otherwise. But large emphasis on diversity, highly contradictory.

I was lucky enough to work on 2 development from scratch products at Morgan. This gave me a tremendous learning curve. Along with it, I worked with some of the most hardworking, smart, intelligent people. Although, some people would complain of the lack of work-life balance, I felt the work to be so intriguing that I never had a problem working hard and/or over the weekends.

Dislikes

The salary hikes/bonus were not as good as they were earlier, but that was primarily due to a tough business environment and it's impact on the company's profit.
