Pros

Very low bar, you don't need to work as hard as in other consulting firms to survive (if this is a pro)

Cons

No diversity at all (85+% are Indians, no women in leadership positions), a bunch of Team B or C players acting as if they were Team A players, lot of arrogance and constant internal fights for stupid things. Most of the OC Sr. Mgrs. have been in that company for ages and it would be very hard for them to survive if they were in any other place. Compensation is below average, benefits are cheap, they have 401K matching as a retention tool as they pay it as a lump sum in March (if you are still around). Projects are very boring and not challenging at all. Clients only hire EXL because they are cheap and use them as a body shop for backfilling. Very high turn over (it must be a record). The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Pros

Location, building amenities, nice view

Cons

Pay is terrible.. work load increases but pay stays the same. Ten cent or less pay increase every year. No room for advancement. A lot of favoritism in office, management trains new hires incorrectly and employees have to Pick up the slack. There is no respect in office from management to employees. No assistance from management. You get talked at , not talked to like an adult. Management will clock you out if you go over a minute of your 15 minute break, you are expected to tell management when you are going to the restroom and they will contact you while in bathroom. Policies are not followed.
