Project experience - Chennai Vs San Francisco

Chennai (CHE): Not attend after hours call from office, not a big deal. Next day you can go and tell no signal or do some adjustment.
San Francisco (SFO) : Not attend after hours call it becomes a big issue. At-least you should have enabled your voice mail. Should listen to the voice mail and expected to respond back.

CHE: Even though if you don't have work you cannot leave by 5.00 pm. Wait until the manager leaves or on the 8.00 pm cab, whichever is earlier.
SFO: Even if you have work you can leave by 5.00 pm and continue tomorrow. If you have to complete the work after 8 hrs, you can charge over time.

CHE: If you discuss or talk little bit extra in team meetings, colleagues may comment your attitude and criticize (by saying too much scene).
SFO: You need to talk more, ask more questions, clarify each and every concern you have, you can stop them, if you don't understand anything. The guy who asks more question considered to be the bright and intellectual.

CHE: If you had any late night issues you have to come to office next day (bit late may be).
SFO: If you had any late night calls you can work from home next day.

CHE: Work allocation and time allocation is dictated by the Lead
SFO: You can decide and negotiate the task and its time.

CHE: You can do your work and if you are reserved nobody cares.
SFO: You do your work and if you don't interact properly, it will create a big mess and it is considered as a biggest issue.

CHE: You know when your project is going to complete. (enough time is there to get next project)
SFO: You never know when you will come out of the project. (always be prepared)
