Pros

The only positive I experienced was that the company paid 100% of the variable pay

Cons

Exit Process is a Nightmare: Even after 45+ days of my last working day, I have not received my experience or relieving letters. Multiple follow-ups have been ignored. HR, managers, and other departments stop responding once you resign. Zero Post-Exit Support: There is no help during background verification after exit, and you're treated like an outsider the moment you put down your papers. Biased Appraisals: Hikes are not based on merit or performance, but on whom the management personally favors. If you don't participate in non-project activities, you won't get a hike, even if your project work is excellent. Focus is Misplaced: Management is more interested in non-project activities than the actual client work. If you perform well on the project, it often goes unnoticed, but any mistake is quickly escalated. Toxic Targeting Culture: Once they target an employee, they won't stop until the person leaves. There's a serious lack of psychological safety. Unhealthy Team Structure: Projects often rely heavily on one senior employee, while others are freshers with little accountability. You are expected to handle everything, and if you can't, you’re blamed or sidelined. No Real Connections: The environment is such that it's hard to make a single genuine connection. The work culture feels isolating. Manager Apathy After Resignation: Even your own manager may stop responding after you resign, showing a complete lack of basic courtesy.

Pros

Can learn new skills on projects, if you take the self initiative. Decent bonus pay-outs - although always short of full target. Margin is going up (although revenue is going down and layoffs are going up)

Cons

Company says they value diversity, but is not diverse at all. Almost all US hiring is Indian. We are told to bring over "landed resources" from India, so that we can pay them 15% - 20% less than US workers. They really abuse the H1 Visa process. Management is very poor and most good leaders and resources have left the company over the years. In over a decade - received zero raise 6 times. When there are raises they are 1 - 2%. Multiple failed mergers and divestitures - Hitachi Consulting, Hitachi Data Systems, Hitachi Vantara, Hitachi Solutions, Hitachi Digital Services - and now Global Logic - which I am sure will be unsuccessful as well. When I started Hitachi Consulting was $500M in revenue. Currently Hitachi Digital Services is $500M in revenue. Literally zero growth in over a decade. Lay-offs every year. Stay away from this company, as obviously something is not working well.
