Pros

More work and opportunities to grow

Cons

Hrres people after multiple rounds. Overnight PIP to the team members one by one to hide the mass layoff impression and ensure its not in limelight for employee unfriendliness whereas it keeps winning paid awards for the same. Always competition between india team and europe and the west. As soon as they realize their jobs are at threat due to IT cost cutting stratergy, they will make you the scape goat. Recommend other healthcare companies over the poor PIP-oriented culture after a,ple extraction of ork.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
