Pros

Competitive compensation and upholds professional work environment

Cons

They have this “Utilization” metric of 93-95% annually that if you don‘t meet, you will not be eligible for performance award, profit-sharing, and salary increase regardless of the other metrics. Management reinforces work-life balance but wants you to compensate extra working hours without pay to meet the utilization target which is contradicting. In addition, you have to spend your earned vacation leaves for client holidays which I personally find unfair.
