Pros

I got paid to do nothing but two training projects that last 2-3 months each in the span of 14 months.

Cons

say they care in big meetings but don't actually care when it comes person to person. Have to basically get hired while working there to get on a client project. have 5 weeks to get on a project when there is no work to get. They don't care about you. No one to talk to. Management is a joke. No learning experience. No guidance. No growth. over employed with no work I don't see this company lasting or making a good name for itself.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
