Pros

You can make RARE good connections among the knowledgeable work force.

Cons

This company operates like a recycling plant—except the material being recycled is its employees. They consistently pay below market rates and lay people off whenever there are no active projects (“on the bench”). Employees are pushed to their limits, their skills and time squeezed for maximum output, only to be let go once they’re no longer immediately needed. At the same time, new hires—often those desperate for work—are brought in, and the cycle repeats. You’re treated like a disposable product: a shiny fruit juice bottle that looks valuable at first, but is quickly discarded once used. The environment is heavily micromanaged, with unnecessary in-office mandates that don’t seem to add real value. Favoritism is common, and leadership—particularly in delivery regions—often appears underqualified. Meanwhile, higher-ups seem to benefit financially, while the people doing the actual work are left with very little. Despite being the ones generating revenue, employees are told there’s “no budget” when they ask for raises. The message is clear: you are replaceable. Knowledge-sharing initiatives like COEs (Centers of Excellence) feel less like growth opportunities and more like a way to extract your expertise for FREE before moving on to the next person. PS - Your career growth depends on how much LinkedIn posts you have liked or re-shared lol
