Pros

The company is expanding rapidly and it's easy to be hired compared to Big 4's. Brand name. As soon as on boarding is completed Indian employees are able to work with the US counterparts.

Cons

Not a pay leader as the management claims, typically pay 30 to 40 less than Big 4's and other smaller offshoring entities. Poor quality work is outsourced to India and most of the high value work is retained in the US. Big promises are made while hiring people from Big 4's, in terms on increment and bonus, however every appraisal employees are reminded that they were already hired at an increased salary from their previous employer and if an employee joins from Big 4 they might feel they have seen an increased package but it will soon get normalized and they will fall behind shortly afterwards. Poor IT infrastructure with really cheap laptops provided and employees are mostly forced to work on virtual machines which have several issues of their own. Work flow management is poor, in a month certain days employees will be expected to work 14 plus hours and then within the same week employees will be unassigned the entire day.

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
