Pros

This is a very big company with a solid and very stable future. Great benifits, lots of opportunity to gain experience.

Cons

Thought I was compensated well, discovered that I was not paid as well as in other industries. Actually didn't figure that out until a new hire came in at a director level. I saw that his talents are not on par with mine... that prompted me to look around and discovered that I should actually be making about 30% more... It's too bad really, I was happy until I leaned how ignorance is bliss... Employees tend to hold several titles in name only and are generally paid for the lower of the titles... For example, a product manager who is not really a "product manager" by title, wouldn't get the product manager bonus handed out each quarter.... I know!!!! Still, a good company to work for, just wish they would pay better and compensate for the work performed. You should still jump at a chance to work here... just be sure the T gets crossed and the I gets dotted.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
