Review on PwC SDC PVT LTD, Bangalore offshore cost center
Pros: -Brand Name
-Opportunity  to travel and work with clients
-Opportunity to learn specific domains
Cons: Low end technical work. 

The culture and values of the US entity seems to be missing in SDC

No work life balance.

Poor career coaching.

Non transparency in performance review process leads to stagnation and high attrition.

Managers can't make decisions.

Issue of stagnation as well.

There  is zero retention policy. 

No consistent travel policy.

A lot of travel.  

Some partners are very rude on offshore resources and put a lot of work pressure to meet deadlines. Quality is the last thing they talk about.

Managers are groomed into believe in theory X, people who some times work from home are monitored (lack of trust). 

A lot of job titles/levels in the organization structure. There are many managers, senior manages, associate directors and directors in the company. Some practices have multiple directors just
doing resource management bringing no value-add to the company. 
 
The company has become a white elephant with some of the managers and directors having lost their skill set are non-deploy-able/non-billable. 

There is a lot of opportunity to clean up the mess and evolve into lean culture.
