Pros

glassdoor requires that I put in at least 20 words for Pros. But this company has little to no pros. You can imagine why Microsoft loves this company. It's a technology company, that's about the only Pro I can think of.

Cons

One of the worst companies to work for. Pay is very very low, such that it is truly not worth working for. That's because the company's revenue to number of employees ratio is very small. There are many companies big and small in this area who pay double or more than what this company pays. The company is very cheap and does Microsoft's bidding in terms of driving down the pay rate of developers and engineers. Management also lies. They will lure you in, by promising to increase your pay if you show quality work. But that will never happen. The pay raises are an insult. It comes nowhere close to the rate of inflation. If you have a family to feed. This is the last company to work for. Specially with the level of inflation we see these days. To add insult to injury, you will also be Micromanaged. You will not be treated with respect by Management, rather they are quite rude and arrogant. I can write up more Cons, but I believe the two, Very Low Pay and Being Micromanaged, are enough to help those with self respect stay away from this company.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
