Pros

I have only been a part of the organization a little while and have yet to see any pros.

Cons

Toxic Culture driven by a top down I’m know more than you attitude. Which makes it obvious that it is also very Top Heavy with a comically unjustified ineptitude towards aligning on new initiatives. Need to take our own advice and implement digital transformation internally. The silos are huge and unwarranted. On boarding you are left to fend for yourself, any questions you are made to open a ticket with IT for. Counter intuitive process which heavily weighs down the streamlining of anything.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
