Pros

It’s hard to find another job that pays this much with no required degree and little skills. Tuition embursment. “MPower Points” you earn and redeem for gift cards.

Cons

There is NO opportunity for advancement unless you want to be a line lead (and hate your life) or if you’re a great butt kisser & want to be a supervisor. Management CLAIMS they value our work life balance, then proceeded to give us 1-2 hours of overtime every day for the month of December. The only worklife balance they care about is the INCOMPETENT IT manager. Since there are so many people, there are bound to be people that you won’t get along with, and at this location, there are some very lazy, entitled people. Will overwork GOOD workers to the point where they quit without finding another job. Does not address lazy workers. New company attendance policy almost makes you feel like they’re TRYING to get people to quit. Management keeps signing contracts that bring in more work, while we do not have the space nor the labor to handle it.

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!
