Vantaggi

Some talented resources work here. Company is growing so opportunity for advancement should be there - in theory.

Svantaggi

This review is specific to the Boston office. The company has focused all of its efforts on servicing a single large insurance company in Boston - the all eggs in one basket scenario. Many resources were recently hired in support of a forthcoming major, multiyear contract that fell through, resulting in excess headcount and layoffs. Some H1B visa holders are being exploited as the loss of sponsorship is held over their heads if they refuse to work long hours or take time off. Benefits are terrible - health insurance is through the DC health exchange and policies are exorbitantly expensive. Time off is sub-standard for the industry. Top-heavy management style means PMs and team leads are undermined in the decision making process. Resources have been known to leave the company in frustration, and are desperately replaced by candidates that haven't been fully vetted or outright are not qualified for their position. A culture of secrecy and dishonesty when it comes to delivering bad news to the client. Way too many managers assigned to a single project means that they are vying for power and influence rather than focusing on the needs of the team. Overall, a terrible experience and one I would want others to avoid.

Thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate candor, and I would like to respond to your concerns as addressed. Regarding our immigrant workforce, I question what contributes to your perception since all of our employees are hired based on skills and merit, no matter their legal status. As one of few employers that sponsor employment visas at 100% employee cost protection, we are proud that our workforce truly reflects our commitment to providing superlative talent to our diverse portfolio of clientele. We believe that our benefits, including time away from work, offer our talent great flexibility for work-life balance and optimal health and wellness, and continue to pursue additional avenues of support of our employees. Our management style allows full engagement with team members at every level, which greatly contributes to the growth and success of every employee. I am happy to talk in greater detail to understand better your experience, particularly as the company continues to grow and change.

Vantaggi

I really can’t think of any. They have Friday virtual yoga. That’s about it.

Svantaggi

The interview process was so disorganized. I was hired for one role and was put on a project in a much junior role. Since then the project has been horribly planned and rushed. The solution design seems to change daily. Meetings pop up on your calendar sometimes 15 mins before. People seem stretched way too thin. I’m on calls in late afternoon where people verbally acknowledge they haven’t eaten yet that day. They make their India team stay on calls well past midnight their time. There seems to be no respect for a work life balance. I’ve worked at one of the big 4 firms and never felt this miserable or that my life balance was such an afterthought.
