Pros

Giving 1 star only because of good insurance coverage

Cons

First and foremost, good reviews shown are likely to be premeditated - ie. staff are asked/made to write positive reviews so as to improve their ratings on glassdoor as it used to be in the low 2s. There seems to be a spike in positive reviews in an orchestrated manner. Hence, do take positive reviews with a huge pinch of salt. If you’re just looking for a job that pays sufficiently, and career progression and learnings are not of importance to you, you may skip reading. Graduates are used as cheap resources for projects so that projects can be sold cheaply. The bulk of graduate’s salary is funded by the government because of the graduate programme scheme. Over promise in proposals or in their words to clients and under deliver (ie. no good qualified expertise placed on projects). Clients are always right and the welfare of staff does not matter. Project delays or issues are blamed on staff executing the project, when most of the time it is due to poor project management. Staff are expected work overtime to catch up. Projects are constantly delayed because of poor project management - ie. no good quality project managers. Zero career progression, your progression is based of how long you stay with the company and how much you engage with the management. Also, if you are good at talking, you will make it too. People who can speak well even without delivery capabilities are well appreciated, because sales is what brings in the money. Lack of good middle layer management to learn from (middle management is also almost non-existent). Lack of diversity in races and gender ratio within the company and in management. APAC region is free to run in whatever manner they want to - with zero strategic direction in place.

Pros

Company provides training on soft skills and technical skills prior to placing on a project.

Cons

Client contracts can end unexpectedly so you may not get to work on a project long term and change from project to project.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
