Reporting manager in the US

Hi folks,

I'm looking forward to an engg role where the team is distributed in 2 to 3 countries. Both my Reporting Manager and Sr. EM sit in the US and are of Chinese origin. Rest 3 to 4 Devs are in Bangalore and rest in other South East Asian country.

Work and tech wise it's pretty good. Interesting product with great tech to work with. WLB is good. WFO is 3 days a week. Comp is also good.

I'm supposed to have standup/product meetings starting mostly from 9 or 10 am for timezone overlap with manager 1:1 scheduled once every week and wrap up the day by 5 or 6 pm. Should I accept the role or reject it?

Seems like a dream. But beware of company tactics for URA. Be also very cautious about split teams, I’ve heard that very soon Amazon is coming up with a policy to manage entire team under one L6 manager to be in the same location. In that case your little arrangement won’t work.

Company isn't Amazon. Also what's URA? What concerns do you see or have experienced with the split teams?
