Pros

Overwhelming majority of employees I connect with regularly are smart, fun, and caring. Opportunities to do a variety of things if you can develop the relationships with key influencers. Lot of potential for good things ahead if sr leadership can refocus and pull through a challenging time by setting a clear vision and executing on it.

Cons

Lack of transparency, especially around performance management, compensation, and deployment causes a lot of frustration among the client services folks. Limited opportunities if you do not develop relationships with key influencers. Many internal support functions have not meaningfully changed their approach and mindset to adapt to changes brought about by growth = inefficient, non-scalable processes. Appears to be a lack of clear focus on retaining current employees which puts a lot of pressure on the Scheduling and Recruiting functions to meet client needs and revenue targets.

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.
