Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work model, new/renovated offices are very nice

Cons

The work environment is very toxic, starting right at the VP level. They say all the right things about valuing people and a good working culture, but they do not practice any of what they preach. If you say negative things in the annual survey, the VP will start a witch hunt to find out who said what. IMO, that VP is arrogant and loves the sound of her own voice. She is very temperamental. If you suck up to her, you will do well! Do not ever try to challenge or report unethical behavior. Pay is FAR below industry standard. Lots of unethical behavior. Lots of favoritism.

Pros

The company was great to work for as I was there for 11 years. I was able to start as as an entry level Customer Service Representative and move my way up to the IT department.

Cons

I can't really say there are any cons, as you can move up within if you want to .

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!
