Pros

Most of the people are truly talented and good to work with. Post pandemic has been more flexible with WFH. The company has quite a lot to offer in terms of benefits. Compensation is ok.

Cons

Poorly managed, some talent is selected to be fast tracked but if your not you will have trouble with growth. The agility is poor which causes client issues. They don’t ever fire anyone, the worse you do, the more likely you are to be promoted. HR is a nightmare. The systems are heavy and not user friendly. Resignations are at an all time high and rather than replace the talent they are redistributing the work.
