Pros

-Team members in the trenches are top-notch and genuinely good down to earth people.

Cons

- Significant culture change after the PE acquisition. Change from a people-first culture to a revenue-first culture. - Recent acquisitions have been a struggle with little to no integration. - MDs seem stressed about selling work to meet tough revenue targets and the pressure cascades down to the staff. - Added pressure to bring in more revenue (work more) has been coupled with declining bonuses and merit increases

Pros

Decent swag and they have education stipends. Allows remote work which was very appreciated.

Cons

Too political and heavy on finger-pointing rather than collaboration. Blame often falls on inexperienced staff for issues beyond their control, while "who you know" (especially in the Texas office) dictates accountability. Additionally, the US team’s subconscious bias toward the India team creates a counterproductive and unwelcome environment. It ultimately feels like a fend-for-yourself environment. When performance is evaluated, support is limited unless you’ve already proven you can meet management’s demanding, often unrealistic, expectations. This makes it especially difficult for early-career professionals to learn and grow. The focus tends to be more on maximizing billable hours than on development or quality of work. In some cases, there has even been pressure from multiple managers to inflate timesheet entries to improve the appearance of performance and increase client billing, despite work being completed efficiently. These expectations were consistently communicated verbally rather than documented, raising serious ethical concerns and making the situation even more discouraging.
