Pros

When assigned to a project the work is a challenge and the feeling is you are making a positive impact to your client

Cons

Interview process spoke to minimal travel and high utilization. In practice, travel is high and utilization is low. Senior levels are asked to leverage down to associates and analysts creating inability to achieve utilization 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.
