Pros

1. Projects in the global corridors are really good and clients are very respectful and mindful of personal time and work life balance 2. You'll get to know jargons and fancy words to impress people 3. Giving Work from home, not enforcing work from office

Cons

1. Now where do I start, this is not a place for a techie, they expect you to work on business proposals and forget about technical work, they would flatter you with that vision of growth but that is far from reality. 2. The leadership is rude and everyone talks like they are a CEO. 3. If you are not doing presentations and preparing slides (which eventually get rejected), then you are not considered worthy 4. If you are bench for long, they will force you into resignation. 5 They charge clients an absolute premium which is why client interviews are extremely difficult and you generally end up getting rejected. 6. You are not allowed to take leaves as it will cause revenue loss if you are in project and also you will be asked to charge extra hours to the client, if not then you will be asked to do extra work outside your project work 7. Lot of pre-sales work is assigned in the name of "growth" and "consulting" which a technical person might not understand or like. 8. Don't join their lighthouse division 9. They don't have much business in terms of projects and revenue, which I don't see changing in the future as well.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
