Pros

Good work life balance Good Opportunities to work on new technologies

Cons

Management Politics Resource is never valued even though they are top performers Payband of old time employees are very low. If your are new employee like(2-3 years) and your compensation is up to the market standards, they will treat you as upper bracket employee and will literally give ZERO hike, just to match the salaries of old timers and bring them near market standard. The funny part is they do have the similar process called normalization but which they will not do it giving proper hikes.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
