Pros

Overtime is often times available

Cons

There is zero communication from management. They do not care about what you have to say and will dismiss you if you try to schedule a time to talk or address any unethical concerns. They are not empathetic and make you feel replaceable. They will spring mandatory overtime on you LAST minute and DO NOT CARE if you have plans, kids, are sick or any other reason no matter what. ALL WHILE PREACHING EMPATHY and telling you that you must be empathetic They WILL look for reasons to fire you if you get on their bad side. Hard work is not appreciated or valued. The best employees are seeking employment elsewhere due to this. . FAVORITISM is huge. Favorites are not required to put in the same work. (You become a favorite by complimenting, always agreeing and gossiping) All of this eventually takes any passion, dedication and will for hard work out of you. It just becomes a place you come for a paycheck.

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!
