Pros

1. Indian Managers are in La La land and oblivious to the fact that their leads in India are incompetent people (good company for freshers as leads and they are at same level of knowledge) 2. Managers chose their leads based on their relationship and comfort level (within and outside the organization their nexus is the key). So anybody with such skills gets the lead role in general and its easy. 3. Projects are limited and people get good amount of bench time, promotions while on bench and all other facilities. (Again relationships matter with Managers, HR) 4. Salary is generally on time but reimbursements can take ages. (after all Finance team is so efficient) 5. Getting a cab at logout (usually 9:30 pm) is like a circus. Lots of fun with all the confusion created by the transport vendor and admin. 6. If you are favorite of HR then you will be taken care off in a great way. They value your commitment towards them.

Cons

1. Managers feel comfortable at making sure that people with similar skill levels as theirs are kept as leads. Then their position in the future is not threatened. They like people who can do nothing the whole day and still look busy just like them. 2. Managers can come and go from office as they wish and so can their incompetent leads. Mostly empty vessels that make lots of noise to show their importance. 3. They hire people from outside by paying huge money for certain product skills but will not train people in products within the organization. The training programs are limited to things that you can easily find on the internet. 4. Managers and HR are rigid in their approach. Very comfortable doing what they do daily. Anybody with good suggestions or approach that demands changes will be considered as aggressive.

We would encourage any current employees who have specific concerns to raise or suggestions to speak with their Coach, HR Business Partner and/or HR Director, Richard Gartside.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
