Many of the notes below are specifically about ASPL, and from a long time ago when Advaiya was a very different company.
As for the "flee the sinking ship!" comment, I don't know what that's about. Advaiya has had layoffs, it's true, but find me a company in this economy that hasn't. I suspect that comment is from someone that was on the unfortunate side of one of those conversations. It's sad that they have to turn around and try to tank the company from the outside, but what are you going to do?
Advaiya in the US is a good place to work, in my opinion. They have their challenges, and the pace of work can be kind of crazy sometimes. But we get to work with cool new technologies (silverlight, azure, the Surface, new versions of Office & Sharepoint) and management takes pretty good care of us from what I can see. I'd like to have a few more hours off here and there, but they pay well, and they're still hiring -- and that's saying a lot these days.
In short, don't let a bunch of yahoos bitching about jobs they lost fool you. Advaiya is hardly the horror story they make it out to be.

cool new technologies(silverlight, azure, the Surface, new versions of Office & Sharepoint) sounds good.
but my question is are you really working on these technologies?
In my opinion advaiya is using the latest version of copy+paste technology is re-utilizing the contents written by someone else. -

I know that I'm working on them, and in some cases the technology is so new that we're the ones creating the material.
