I really don't see anything in the company policies or management/ collegues attitude and actions to the employees that hurts me. Once I have I will post update

Number one bad thing you need to know (beyond working unreasonable hours for decades and learning non-transferable skills): There is a caste system. If you are 'delivery', you will never be admitted into the higher caste of western office decision makers, nor will you ever be equally paid. They will work you to death, promote you into even more impossible missions, but will never consider you at the same level, despite you owning the entire delivery process (revenue generation!) and managing teams of hundreds of people. NC operate in a highly chaotic and politically heavy environments of impossible transformation programs. They frequently commit to delivering programs that cannot be delivered, so they burn their high achievers to exhaustion and then praise a caste of politically savvy, non-tech 'managers' whose main role is not delivery but navigating the heavy corporate games of dinosaur-like or inertias telcos without any measurable outcomes. NC charge clients for software implementation, they pay you like you are doing some leisure product development, but in reality, company and tech teams at the forefront are driving painful full-scale transformations for which western-world consultants would charge $ thousands per hour. Ever heard of leadership skills? Forget about it. The entire leadership vertical has none, and no intention to develop any. (On the senior management level think of micromanagement, lack of EQ, team dysfunctions, lack of transparency, favoritism and all other toxic traits of poor leadership). Heard of things like QBRs, strategy planning, OKRs, etc.? Non-existent. Real program management or portfolio management? Non-existent. The entire workforce outside of Boston is treated like a body shop. No transparency of the company strategy. It’s both: there is no comprehensive strategy planning in place and a 'none of your business' attitude. The so-called department managers also have zero general management skills. No understanding of how to direct, plan, or execute strategy. And 90% of them don’t possess even basic people-management skills.
