Pros

- The senior leadership team has been in places for several years, creating credibility with shareholders and the marketplace - Generally speaking, the workforce is passionate and easygoing - There's a significant number of opportunities across the company, making it possible to move around both geographically and functionally

Cons

- Executive compensation creates a real difference between top execs and the rest of the workforce, resulting in a hierarchical culture - The company is very consensus driven, which causesdecisions to happen slowly. If you operate in the lower levels, you may feel that you are handcuffed by the people above needing to "weigh-in" on everything - The company doesn't foster a strong internal culture - creating so-so morale. Some groups do a better job than others, but on the whole, you don't feel connected to your co-workers outside of your immediate work group.

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!
