Vantaggi

Good portfolio of clients. If you're in client location, you may get oppty to work in some good areas. Some really nice people.. Good place if you're a lateral hire in the US... you can spend a couple of years, make some good money and then get out

Svantaggi

Horrible politics. No consistent organization. Keeps on reorganizing with no consistent messaging. Some people get a free pass where as others are penalized for no fault of theirs. There's a huge focus on margins (apparently), so if you don't keep billing you're let go. Best bet is for you to reposition yourself as a support function. In orange county corporate office more and more people are being added to HR, Finance and support functions at a direct hit to margins. People in support functions are transferred from India, even though they can very well function from India itself at much lower cost like Infosys and Cognizant do. These function-level people are never let go or transferred back to India. Instead people with potential to bring revenue are let go quickly if you're not billable. Such a dichotomy! Terrible pay disparity - new people are hired at much higher salaries than the people who have been in the company for a few years. Also senior-level people and industry specialists are hired at exorbitant salaries and then left to fend for themselves with no clear direction amidst the politics No consistent long-term vision - extremely short-term strategy, if at all there is a strategy

Vantaggi

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Svantaggi

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
