Toxic management and constant layoffs ruin the experience
Pros
Salary was the only positive aspect, and with the change in senior management, even that no longer feels like enough
Cons
Frequent layoffs; you never know when your last working day might be. Constant pressure to maintain high utilization despite a lack of sufficient projects. Internal or non-billable work does not contribute to utilization, yet performance evaluations are heavily based on utilization metrics. Poor upper management and leadership practices. Excessive workplace politics that often affect decision-making. Favoritism in opportunities, recognition, and career growth. Employees are often required to serve the full 3-month notice period even when there is little or no work available. Lack of work-life balance. Production issues require employees to be available regardless of weekends, holidays, or late-night hours. High expectations and accountability without adequate organizational support or resource planning.
