Sadly not what it used to be - Senior Business Systems Analyst Capital Group Employee Review

Very little room for growth. I was literally told by my senior manager that if I want to move up I need to move out since they are not interested in promoting from within. Blatant abuse of the H1B visa program. Clearly looking to reduce headcount through attrition and layoffs in order to replace experienced associates with offshore contractors and/or H1B visa recipients. Approaching 70-80% of IT workforce, at least. Despite loss of key associates workload and deadlines continually becoming more aggressive. Upper management talks about valuing associates, providing growth opportunities, 50/50 ratio of associates/contractors... They talk the talk but clearly don't walk the walk. Vast majority of middle to upper management positions in the past 10 years have been filled by outsiders. Many of them come from Accenture. This has completely transformed the culture of IT and not in a good way. They may have reduced costs but at the expense of the company culture and skilled American workers. These cons are not specific to IT. Business units are also feeling the pain of being squeezed.
