Pros

They pay a little more than other jobs in the area when I started

Cons

- Pay does not keep pace - Most of the off-shore team is incompetent - Unattainable Deadlines and no assistance with completing them - Does not properly staff sites - Actively destroys the clients IT environment I would not recommend anyone hire this company or work for them. They are actively terrible at what they do and how they operate. The company claims to be a US company when it is an Indian MSP.

Pros

None, run dont even consider them

Cons

"India-first mentality." The company says it wants to work with people across the Americas and Europe, but many decisions still seem to follow an Indian way of operating without properly considering local labor laws, regulations, and workplace expectations. There are serious concerns about job stability. The company frequently praises itself for creating employment opportunities, but at the same time, it appears to be bringing more employees from India into U.S. roles while letting go of people from the Americas and Europe who have contributed to the company. This creates uncertainty and raises questions about the company's commitment to its existing workforce. Every meeting seems to be focused on AI : AI this, AI that, AI everywhere. Employees are constantly asked to complete AI related training and adapt to AI initiatives, while at the same time letting people go so they can afford AI. Compensation is another area that needs improvement. After my contributions and time with the company, my last salary increase was only $20, which felt extremely discouraging and showed a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts.
