Pros

Salary is good, but actively changing (see cons). The engineers that are left. Nice new offices.

Cons

401k match is cut, salary increases are cut, bonuses are being cut, budgets are being cut across the board. Entire company seems to be in a leadership free fall, and entire IT divisions are getting outsourced, or "consolidated" The culture is quickly becoming toxic with leaders building castles to keep their turf. Divisions are being outsourced, and budgets have been slashed with little communication as to the why. Good leaders are getting fired because they don't kiss the ring, and I see many more cronies coming in soon. This place will be a different company in 2-5 years, and the leaders are actively making sure it will be be hell getting there.

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!
