Pros
I worked with OpenTable Mumbai operations team. The Mumbai team is energetic, hardworking. But most projects and high level work was handled from SF office. The people in local team make up for the all the negatives and helped me survive here. There is freedom to work on different tools, technologies but one should be self-starter to learn. Leaders were focused on maintaining existing legacy systems. I worked on many good tech and legacy products and tried improving the tech stack.
Cons
The hard work done here is not appreciated nor recognized. The management takes the team here for granted. I was stressed with work at odd hours and support calls. The management took my late hours work for granted. Market corrections never happened although role and work kept changing. New hires were provided higher pay and better stocks for the same role. I left the org as I was not managed well, not paid well. Many other team members in the Mumbai office have the same complain, we get no appreciation, taken for granted, the compensation not worth our efforts. Many senior members and managers are with the company for 10+ years, hence they are little old school, enjoy legacy (read they have pile of stocks and nothing to do), they do not take polished decisions which is hurting the company (infra and tech stack is old and people under are not happy).
