Beware of unexpected layoffs.

Associate technical consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

*Was a part of one of the LAUNCH classes and it was pretty cool at the start. *Opportunities to travel for work, emphasized a lot on learning/getting certs (paid by comapny). *"Unlimited" PTO (pro for me since I was able to use it, can be con for some) *Other benefits were pretty decent *WFH with option to work at local office(not everyone had one close by to work at)

Cons

*There's a good bit of focus on DEI in the culture but it got to the point where I could care less about it. *Saw multiple rounds of lay offs. During one of them I was mid call with clients for a project and a coworker on the call got laid off during the client call. Within the hour his accesses were cut. * Was a part of one of the rounds of lay offs. Just got a call randomly and they laid me off same day. Cut my accesses within the hour. Also the severance was two weeks pay and a month of insurance... *Was barely put on projects cause there wasn't enough to go around in my department. So pros not much work. Cons you stunt your career because you're not actually doing any field work. Just studying for certs and barely using that knowledge, if used at all. *Ahead India - They try to make it sound great building up a workforce there. But in reality aren't you just shipping jobs overseas for cheaper work?

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Salary and Bonus Structure. Competent resources to work with on most teams. Good collaboration among teams. Some amazing talent, but unfortunately not always recognized.

Cons

M&A's making it hard to keep old culture and silent layoffs along with other layoffs when these occur makes for a stressful situation.
