Pros

The salary is competitive, benefits are good, not micro managed (not really managed at all). Past years have been good.

Cons

This place used to be great, but in the last 3 years it has gone downhill fast. Management is clueless about what the employees do. They think everyone is interchangeable (technical and non-technical) and everyone can learn everyone else's job in a couple of hours. No concept of the complexity of the work or the value of experience. They make it clear that they don't want input from the employees. Management style - just do it and shut up. Do not care about quality of the products only about getting the money from the clients. EVERYTHING revolves around getting money. The products, clients and employees are very low on the priority list. Upper management are dictators and middle management are doormats. No appreciation/recognition for knocking yourself out for years. Can't wait to get out.

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!
