Pros

Received a promotion with this company after a couple years, and there are opportunities to move roles to avoid being bored and to have more exposure to new businesses. They use industry standards and best practices to be as efficient as possible. There were opportunities to offer improvements and recommendations. I felt authority to manage my customer as best as possible, to build my relationship with them and felt that I contributed value to my team. Majority of colleagues were committed to delivering the best work possible and understanding the business inner workings to come up with creative solutions. Had the flexibility to work from home and had a work-issue cell phone.

Cons

When seeking new ways to stay in the same vertical, I ran into clarity issues with how to advance. Other employees with fewer years of experience received a promotion, and it seemed like it was because they were rubbing shoulders with the right people. I didn't like how strong of a political scene there was.

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!
