Pros

Unfortunately, there are very few positives left in the company. There are no real employee benefits or consistent work culture. The company now markets itself heavily as a “Digital and AI-focused” organization, but that is more of a branding effort than an operational reality. Only a handful of projects are currently active, and stability is uncertain.

Cons

Hire and Fire Policy: The company follows a strict bench policy — once you’re on the bench, your notice period typically begins. Job security feels minimal. Unstable Hiring Practices: Candidates are often offered roles with promising compensation or project assurances, but the ground reality differs due to shifting business priorities. Loss of Major Clients: Several major clients have exited in recent months, reportedly due to project delivery issues and overcommitment. Weak Leadership Direction: Senior management appears to lack a long-term strategic plan, which affects both client confidence and internal stability. Unfulfilled Promises: There’s a gap between what’s communicated and what’s executed, both in employee commitments and client deliverables. Unclear Project Allocation: Once projects end, employees are often left uncertain about the next assignment, leading to forced exits or long bench periods. Frequent Policy Shifts: HR policies change frequently, sometimes impacting existing employment terms. Layoff Transparency Issues: Layoffs have included employees hired less than six months ago, often with little communication. Townhall Gaps: Internal communication during townhalls tends to emphasize success stories while ignoring ongoing employee challenges. Client Interview Bottleneck: Reallocation depends on clearing client interviews, which may not match an employee’s skill set — increasing job insecurity.

Pros

None- the description of the company sounds great but it isn’t reality

Cons

1) Lacking integrity- discrimination, favoritism, nepotism, and sexism are all in play here 2) Poor Leadership- micromanagement, lack of direction/no strategy, lacking of experience, and no concern for others in company. It’s surprising to see such poor leadership in a company. Prior CEO, CBO, and CIO after acquisition, weren’t qualified. They are the primary reasons for the majority of the cons on this list. 3) Lack of communication 4) Lack of trust at all levels 5) No career growth 6) Poor sales 7) Poor operations 8) No energy 9) Lacking of consulting services intelligence 10) The culture is off the charts bad 11) There were some good leaders in the past but they were fired because they were a threat to new leaders 12) No future because all of the prior 11 listed cons
