Pros

Good benefits, competitive pay (but on the low side of the range). Upper management communicates well. Concerted effort to train/advance employees. Good work/life balance. Annual employee satisfaction survey and company endeavors to respond in concrete ways. Encourages employee engagement in charitable work and company is active in charitable functions as well. Company encourages ethical, responsible behavior with zero tolerance of illegalities.

Cons

No loyalty to lower-level employees. They clean house about every 18-24 months of "undesirables" then turn around and replace them. Company is top-heavy with executives. Requires too high education level for the job.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
