Pros

Nice people with a number genuinely interested in enveloping people and their personal needs

Cons

Global company in name only - international cooperation and sharing is very dependent on ex-CG people from Europe contacting their ex-colleagues Poor training - there is no budget or plan for training at any level and you only get it if your on the bench Patchy quality - there are a few very good people that you can learn a lot from but a lot of distinctly average people. The organisation doesn't seem to have the bench strength or depth of competitors IPP in the making - it's becoming increasingly clear that the sales organisation (yes, it's like a separate organisation that doesn't work well with the delivery brains) only gets low price, high volume selling, has no idea how consulting can help strengthen the value proposition or sell higher impact projects and build stronger client relationships. The leadership are almost entirely ex-IPP (especially Satyam) and seem to be well on the path to recreating that model. No follow-through - most people are fed-up with the promises that are made but never delivered on Exodus - the good people are fleeing the company at a very high rate Pipeline - the business (especially consulting) is on a downward trend with no plan on how to fix it

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
