Pros

Small enough to know Directors, Managers and even the CEO. You can work with highly skilled people who is loved by customers Learn from people who knows their stuff very well

Cons

Since they hire highly specialized people and place them to projects, there's a tendency to get stuck on that client for some time. Also, lateral hires is expected to mentor fresh graduates. So, be prepared to act as a supervisor even if you are hired as a technical resource. Most project seems to be like staff augmentation model. Thus there is very little organization when you get to the ground. Not much perks as the big 3 consulting when it comes to travel and training.

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
