Pros

My training in payroll was fragmented, and within the US Taxation team, there was a noticeable lack of foundational knowledge. The primary focus was often on meeting targets rather than building a thorough understanding of the process.

Cons

Trust me this is one of the company where the Cons overshadows Pros, entertaining as well. The organization initially provided a solid foundation for my career. However, over time, I observed increasing biases in management, particularly in favor of those fluent in the local vernacular, which led to the exclusion of non-local employees from key discussions and opportunities. Many team members, including myself, felt that merit and client satisfaction were often overshadowed by internal favoritism. Some supervisors appeared to prioritize personal preferences over professional standards, which was especially disappointing given their roles in enforcing workplace ethics. Recent policy changes, including stricter dress codes, seemed reactive and disconnected from core performance metrics. While onshore teams maintained professionalism, the transition of projects to India often resulted in excessive control by local supervisors. I once proudly recommended the company to others. However, after working onsite, it became evident that the internal dynamics could be stifling, making long-term engagement challenging for those who value transparency and equal opportunity. Cross skilled in multiple processes we hardly work.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
