Pros

The location of The Woodlands office is great if you are located in North Houston. They did add a gym for cardio and lifting weights.

Cons

The majority of employees that are retained are completely dedicated to accumulating as much wealth as quickly as possible. Be very careful that you do not gain the world and lose your soul. No promotional opportunities. Directors work for bonuses while groups of employees resign. Directors have no reason to retain employees meaning that they are directing only themselves. Since I left, my health, financial situation, life work balance, and spiritual life has improved significantly.

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!
