I've worked with both. I got along with pakistani manager much better. He was more conservative and didn't have a large number of others in the company to team up with and was less tribal. But he treated liberal people worse. I've worked with 3 or 4 Indian managers and we just didn't hit it off....Read more
Posting on behalf of a friend ---- Got an offer for IC6 from FB London. I got connected to a few teams but none of them working on consumer facing apps.

I worked at 3 different companies and across many different teams. May be it is my fortune but I have not come across a single useful TPM. Some of the teams had no TPM and we were fine.
