Pros

No pros unless you are an actuary on the life side. Though working with Kailash and Heena will always be a pleasure

Cons

Horrible increments: barely any increment in salary over 2+ years Poor leave structure: you get 10 hours credited every month end to use. They say they encourage you to take leaves if needed but you don't really get to under the new structure No work life balance: they make you work over time and on the weekends and say they will compensate you but they don't No promotions: promotions are dependent on your utilisation percentage but more often than not the project is not profitable and you don't get all the hours you worked. Which leads to low utilisation Toxic work environment: obvious favouritism among the senior management

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
