Pros

- New CEO is great - Met some awesome friends

Cons

- MDs don’t care about connecting with anyone below Director level - You could do amazing on your projects and still not get promoted or great overall review at round tables bc of politics - MDs will get in your way no matter how much you prove yourself - You will get dinged for things out of your control and responsibilities - No valuable training - They throw you in the deep end and expect you to float. If you don’t, they fire you without even providing any sort of training or support for improvement - White males with less experience make more money than minority and females with 4x their years of experience and more than people with the same title. - MDs pick favorites and if you are not one…. Good luck succeeding here no matter how smart and good you are at your job. - They only promote MD favorites and will knit pick the smallest things to prevent you from succeeding - No culture and they claim their care about their people but do nothing that shows they care

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.
