      Great Techies. Pathetic managers/policies/management

      Lead consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company has great projects and great people (IT Engineers) who are making the company work. If you are a person good at technology and politics this is the place to be.

      Cons

      Pathetic senior management, vey unprofessional. Ploicy changes are made overnight to suit the company needs. Management still treats employees with kid gloves.

      Formerly good company fading quickly

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not as bureaucratic as other big consulting firms

      Cons

      Career growth opportunities and company culture have been very poor since the merger. Used to be a project-based environment with short, strategic assignments. Now, business model is "body shop" with long, tactical staffing agreements. Margins are under severe pressure and competition is intense. Company has an upside-down pyramid structure - not at all what a consulting firm should be. Consequently there are few opportunities for growth. Benefits have been cut due to low profitability. Insurance costs more and we get less. No bonuses for over 5 years. Training opportunities are very limited - no budget.

      Headstrong is the place to work for if you don't have any ambition in life.

      Pros

      If you want to work in financial domain and that is the only aspiration you have then you can work for Headstrong. There has been some good things in the past like flexible work culture, work-life balance and transparency between management and employees but these are the things of past.

      Cons

      Problems are more or less same as with other Indian IT companies. There is nothing called policy, sometimes I feel its not more than a shop.
