Advisory IT Architect
Pros: You can work from home. Get up at 6 am and shut down the laptop after 6 pm. You will have some flexible hours during the day.
Cons: There is no raise. No bonus except for the top 1% contributor. The bonus amount is in the embarrassing scale. The average base salary is consistently below the local market. This is their business model. Believe it or not, they are proud of it. The competent workers left for the fair market value. A lot of employees who are still with the company are either too old to change, or reduce the working hours voluntarily to match the pay, or just too out-dated technically to compete in the market to find another job. This is the reality in US. In Indian, the turn-over rate is very high since they give minimum pay for the new graduates. Within 2-3 years, they left for other companies for 100% increase in the salary. No wonder this titanic ship is sinking. Do not jump on it unless you are fresh out of college."
