      Pros

      - Conveniently located near New York city - Opportunities for international travel (if you are lucky) - Good work life balance - Some teams/managers are good to work with

      Cons

      - No clear path for career advancement and growth - Management doesn't care for employee development and training - Some managers are good number crunchers, but extremely immature when it comes to people management - Out of the box thinking is extremely limited - Back-office feel, bit disconnected from day-to-day business action overseas - Performance evaluation process is not very transparent, and big time faviouratism exists. Brown nosing is your biggest asset, team players are not recognized. - Extremely vertical management structure, where senior management is not very approachable
