Pros

large customer base, possibility of long term employment

Cons

Technically incompetent management, people not treated with respect, valuated based on how they report instead of real technical contribution and achievements. If want to experience the Dilbert's corporate world a live than that's the place to be. A good place to prosper for mediocre engineer good at writing nice reports, but if you are not like that you will struggle to both deliver and and somehow satisfy internal nonsensical bureaucratic requirements, you will be the last one to take a credit for your hard work and the first one to blame.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
