Pros

+ Career development, i.e. Six Sigma training is available to pretty much everyone + Fortune 15 company on your resume + Opportunity to work on different projects across teams + Opportunity to get high visibility if that's your thing + Opportunity to advance but don't be in a hurry, it could take a while. + New emphasis is being put on talent development + New structuring of HR allows for less partiality when it comes to a need for mediation

Cons

+ They fired everyone in the AP, Audit & Controls area and replaced them with younger workers who no doubt cost less. No one knows what they are doing. This review is general but a lot of it is stemming from these areas. + Bad treatment of employees: after firing all the seasoned people, the few senior managers that were left pretty much quit/walked out. The few non-exempt employees who managed to keep their jobs were left & they're so angry and scared of being fired, that they do not share their knowledge - if anything, they train new people incorrectly out of anger or because they think it will make them look that much more valuable. + Bad treatment of employees: some of the newer supervisors like to pick with & demean their non-exempt employees. I think some of it is them taking out their frustrations & deflecting (b/c they don't don't what they are doing) on the easiest target. I'm guessing the rest is they know newbies are eager to please & keep their jobs, blind, and sometimes don't understand that there should be mutual expectation (especially the younger ones). + Bad communication: new expectations are unveiled but no one can clearly define what they are, automation is the goal which means future cuts, but one wants to talk about that either, new processes are put into place but they make no sense & few people are even aware... just overall bad communication. + Lack of job knowledge: from the top down (since everyone is new) and lack of direction, well communicated expectations, and the tools/support required to carry out tasks, complete projects, and meet goals... I mean there aren't even any current, or sometimes any at all, SOPs in place. + Lack of team building, or the feeling of cohesive, unified departments - no one trusts anyone, and it's understandable when management fires everyone, people are quick to "throw" each other "under the bus," no one talks, its a stressful environment where most people keep their head down.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
