Pros

Businesses across sectors Brand Name Cash Rich Company Decent Compensation/ Remuneration Packages Flexibility in offering titles/ designations Decent workplace environment

Cons

Highly hierarchical culture Incidences of misbehavior with employees (or ex-employees) by seniors or shared services (HR and accounts) are not taken seriously by senior management Non adherence to the company's processes like HR incidence reporting, is also accepted by the top management Low focus on setting up processes (be it related to internal operational processes or client facing) Poorly trained people in HR and Accounts departments Unreliable HR and accounting systems

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
