Pros

+ Decent salary + Flexible Work Arrangement

Cons

- Chronic understaffing leads to excessive workloads and disregard for official work hours. Management is aware but refuses to address the issue. - Lack of diversity and inclusion; the culture is dominated by one racial group, affecting communication and collaboration. - Toxic communication dynamics: Employees often over-promise to clients and management but fail to deliver, pushing the blame to others. Juniors are treated significantly worse than superiors or clients. - Disorganized and chaotic: Instructions are often unclear, protocols are outdated, and communication is poor. Some colleagues offer help on the surface but are unresponsive when approached. - Manipulative task delegation: Tasks are sometimes passed off at the last minute with misleading assurances of support. Responsibility is shifted unfairly when things go wrong. - Dismissive culture: Genuine requests for help or clarification are brushed off or met with non-answers, making it hard to get work done efficiently. - Questionable resignation handling: Attempts were made to extend notice periods beyond what’s legally required. Resigning employees may be pressured to reconsider through repeated and inconsistent communication. Clients were not properly informed of team changes.

Pros

Provides exposure to newer technologies to enhance your profile. But that's about it!

Cons

Project Management and Human Resources are total jokes at this firm. Both are absolutely non-committed to supporting the Associates at any level. Especially in situations where a fellow Team Associate/Lead egregiously violates the Terms and Conditions of rhe Signed Employment Offer Letter where they attempt to stake ownership over a Client Deliverable but legally they're not allowed to but Project Management will let it be blown under the rug without repercussions for Associates who are seen as more valuable than others but if you're impacted here as the victim then good luck trying to fight and get it reversed because: 1. You'll more than likely be released to the bench soon after; 2. No matter if you put your head down and engage your positive energies towards moving on in a positive direction, eventually you'll be victimized here too as that same Project Management will be sure to hurt your chances for future project allocations eventually resulting in your HR Notice being served upon you and an eventual dismissal. 3. Even more unethical on their part is the lack of reality when you do come forward to file your grievance either with your Regional HR or Business HR, they will use the "Terms and Conditions" of the Employment Offer Letter against you even though you've been done wrong. They have no remorse here and in hindsight, regardless of when you file this grievance, they don't care! Their stance is their stance! POINT, BLANK AND PERIOD!
