      Pros

      -Decent Pay -Management Bonuses -Sometimes you get to work on cool projects -If you do a good job, management usually leaves you alone

      Cons

      -Impossible to move up -No career path for technical (non-management) people -Management doesn't listen to you very well -Senior/Executive management has NO mid/long term plan. No steady direction. You have no idea what you'll be working on the next 1/2 of the year -Yearly project planning is a joke, they give you like 1/2 hour to try and plan it out an NEVER follow up on anything. Nobody does any resource or project dependency planning. -Just to drive the point home, because maybe somebody is listening - NO CAREER PATH FOR TECHNICAL (NON-MANAGEMENT) PEOPLE

      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!
