Pros

Nothing that really matters to employees.

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance. Fake concern for their employees. No recognition for your hard work. Work is monotonous. So here's Axtria's business model in a nutshell. They pick up projects at prices no other self respecting company would. Because the prices are so low, they have to understaff the projects to show high profitability on paper. This means the employees are squeezed to the hilt. There is no such things as personal time for the employees. They work more than 12-14 hours a day. They have to, because one person is easily doing the work of two people. When managers raise this as a concern, there are given canned responses from the higher ups - "there are bound to be peaks and troughs in projects" or "they can take some time off in the evening, just tell them to cover up over the weekend" or "others are doing it so why can't they". Weekends are a part of the project plans. There are activities on weekends that are planned upfront otherwise deadlines won't be met. HR asks employees to fill actual time in their timesheets, but managers informally tell employees to fill only 8 even though they work upwards of 12. And even after all this, the managers are penalized because the actual margins are negative. This mindset is so deeply rooted in leadership that this has become the new normal. Even when an employee gives more than what's humanly possible, instead of appreciating their work, they question why 1 FTE wasn't able to do work of 2.5 FTE. For Axtria their employees are not people, they are FTEs.

Pros

Very interesting space to work in. Coworkers are usually helpful. Niche industry and work, but NJ/NY area has fair number of healthcare and financial companies.

Cons

Your job advancement and ability to stay at the company is completely project dependent. If you can't find one, you're gone. AI and market dynamics are hurting the ability to find projects quite a bit. The US office doesn't feel like the focus. India offices are much nicer.
