Pros

if you stay there long enough (over 5 years) you get a decent amount of vacation, I guess

Cons

They track and nitpick everything you do, no matter how inconsequential. They actually had spyware installed on everyone's computer to track every single click you made on your computer. Petty micromanagers at almost all levels. You can also pretty much expect to not advance in your career at all if you don't have a college degree - even if you're smarter and better at your job than every college grad they hire - they will promote them ahead of you and leave you in your dead-end position with your meager 2% annual raises (if you're lucky.) Meanwhile, the CEO gets over 100 million dollars of stock bonuses every year. They are constantly talking about doing more with less (i.e. if someone in your department leaves or quits, they will not be replaced, their work will be redistributed to you and when you say it can't possibly be done, it is literally impossible they will act like you are being lazy and treat you even more like garbage.) They're constantly saying they want people to make suggestions to improve processes, etc., but when you do, they just say it can't be done or dismiss it. Your input is not actually wanted. Then they constantly wonder why morale is low and why they score so poorly on the employee opinion survey every year. Eventually, they will outsource your department to India, give you a pittance of a severance and send you on your way, but you will be glad to get out and not have to go to that soul-destroying hellhole anymore.

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!
