Pros

- Involvement in complex, high-impact projects across sectors - Emphasis on automation, efficiency, and measurable delivery outcomes - Strong cross-functional collaboration across globally distributed teams (onshore, nearshore, offshore)

Cons

- Advancement is limited; promotions are rare and performance beyond expectations is often unrecognized - Forced bell-curve evaluation system undermines team performance by mandating that 10% "fail" annually—even on high-performing teams - Recognition and rewards are not proportionate to effort; excellence is expected, not acknowledged - Roles are often tied to project-based contracts with limited long-term employment stability - Demanding environment with constant upskilling expectations; not ideal for those seeking stability - Innovation adoption is slow unless driven by client demand - Some senior managers tend to micromanage projects rather than empower teams through strategic oversight and trust in subject matter expert

Pros

Flexible work, basic benefits, dependent on client and direct management. I was lucky to have a wondering team and client.

Cons

Job security isn't present, internal movement unlikely, overall company outlook trending downward. This was a stepping stone role I took after a prior layoff only to have been laid off again.
