Pros

A great pro to me is that the company has a outstanding center for learning. The opportunities that you have to expand your skillset are truly limited only by the individual. They even have tuition reimbursement to assist in training, certification or degree advancement outside of the company's other programs. By making sure that a person has the right skillset and contacts they could probably have unlimited opportunities to advance their career at the company.

Cons

The mentoring program is not company wide and not structured the same in each division leading to strong or weak program depending on your division. Some of the support/networking groups for employees to participate in seem to be focused on certain offices and not widely advertised leading to exclusion for certain areas or inadequate notice of an event. The lines between job duties are too blurred in some divisions and causes undue stress from work overload. Seems like unsuccessful programs/policies still get pushed to the extreme if it has the correct backing, even if they are obvious failures. Possibly caused by inadequate planning/testing.

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!
