Pros

During my time at the company, I had the opportunity to work on good projects that provided decent learning and growth. Certain teams were collaborative and supportive, and working alongside talented colleagues allowed for knowledge-sharing and a good atmosphere—at least within smaller groups and departments.

Cons

During my time at this company, I observed highly unethical HR practices which overshadows the pros. There is effectively no bench policy, resulting in forced resignations as soon as employees are off a billable project, even for those who have served the company for five to ten years. New hires brought on for short-term roles, sometimes lasting only two months, often found themselves pressured to resign immediately once their project ended. The company’s failure to honor contractual notice periods reveals a disregard for employee agreements and heightens the sense of job instability. Moreover, poor work-life balance and a disconnect between leadership and the realities faced by staff contribute to low morale. Compounding these issues is a culture of condescension from top management, where employees appear to be viewed as easily replaceable rather than valued partners in the organization’s success.
