Pros

Personally I like the job itself, but if you are stuck in the same area for too long due to lock of training b in other areas the time doesn't move.

Cons

Well I'm going to be completely honest here they work by an attendance point system policy and because of that the turnover rate is very high. You get four sick days and once those are gone you rack up points against you that don't go away till one year after you recieved them. Once you get to 8 you are terminated. I have seen good employees let go because of it and others who aren't very good but just show up have remained employed creating a longer work day for everyone. You will recieve multiple points for one day if you are out of sick time and can be terminated for missing 7-8 days in a one year period. They aren't very clear about the point system even if you have asked about it multiple times. You get vacation time but it can not be used whenever you want it or in emergency call of situations to avoid points it must be scheduled in advance.

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!
