Pros

Agile and Vibrant Company. Responds to changes really fast Openness Client Focussed Delivery Flexible work hours & Work from home concept

Cons

1. Not process oriented. Every project reinvents the wheel 2. People related conflicts are not handled professionally. Typically it ends up with employee leaving the company voluntarily/forcefully. 3. Horrible work life balance. Old timers take pride saying everybody has to slog. What they need to understand it is not a sustainable model when a company grows beyond a size 4. Relationship is valued over data points especially during promotions cycle. If relationship is used to override data points it is favoritism and looses the original intention of relationship building. 5. Unrealistic project estimation and planning. Estimation are not reviewed by the delivery teams. No proper planning. 6. During performance management people who are exposed to client interaction are valued more than the delivery people. What management needs to understand these are two different kinds of job. Delivery job is not inferior to client management. 7. Most of the time openness is practiced without keeping in mind the employee self respect. Openness and feedback is much more effective when they are followed with due diligence to employee self respect. 8. Star performers are given so much of importance that other team members feel neglected. Star performers are not encouraged to perform long on the current level before they move to next level. What it produces an immature and arrogant star performer detrimental to team work.

Pros

Organized Clear promotion structure DEI friendly + company orgs to join Good pay, benefits, location You're connected to mentors

Cons

Client placement may take a while Lots of training on basic things from my university courses, while they're very beginner friendly, it didn't feel like the best use of my time Worked on a toy project instead of introductions to real world impact projects. You're evaluated more on your ability to network, build relationships, and visibility (which is important when working with clients) as opposed to technical skills - the assumption is that the training they offer will get you up to par In hindsight, there were a lot of unwritten rules that caught me off guard in terms of networking and performance requirements, so the lack of a return offer blindsided me. DEI was huge in 2022 but wasn't genuine and had double standards. They mentioned holding "safe spaces" to speak, but it was not *really* safe and you're still speaking in a corporate place with unspoken professional world rules. Ifykyk.
