Pros

Considering I didn't go to college or have many skills ,it's not a bad gig. Managers are actually pretty decent ppl. I've worked there for 5 years and I can't really complain. Just to be clear, the pros greatly overweigh the cons in my opinion. I'm very happy with my job. There is also an incentive program that gives you a bonus every two weeks based on your speed which is nice. Last year I made about 65k, I'm not saying expect that when you start off but the opportunity is there is you put the time and effort into the job

Cons

To be full time you have to start on overnights. To get to day shift you'll have to put in your time, maybe even 3+ years. It's required to work a "reasonable" amount of overtime but its isn't clarified how much reasonable is. 48 hours is probably what to expect which isn't horrible but when it gets busy and you're working 55 hours it gets old, but you know that could be a pro for some.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
