Pros

Are there any pros here?

Cons

C-level execs have no understanding of the frontline. The CEO has changed the direction of the company every 6 months and it has led to nothing, its worse than it was before. Long stressful days that will leave you so exhausted that you will start questioning the meaning of life. 8 am start without any guarantee of how long you will work that day. God forbid a client sends a new project at 6 pm, you will be sitting at your laptop until 9 pm. Smaller competitors eating the market share, frontline has to fight extra hard to slow down the ever decreasing market share. Most middle management and competent people have already left after years of no change and running around like headless chickens. I am amazed how long the C-level has been able to keep their jobs. Either they are geniuses at fooling the investors or the investors are too naive to see it through.

Pros

Salary is okay if you are looking for that

Cons

Little professional development Repetitive work on a daily basis with little scope for skill development You are handed off work by a team in the US daily and if you make any mistake, then you could be shouted at by your manager in India Warning that the work is repetitive, anyone with a laptop and who speaks english can do this work Even if you get promoted, you will be doing the same work as you were doing before You will be working for 10 hours daily with little to no breaks You can have an okay time at the company if your manager is good

Pros

Although, the company states “unlimited PTO” teams are not very large. Therefore, if someone on your team has requested a week off which aligns with your requested time off there’s a possibility you may not get your days approved. Health benefits are great as well as the 401K matching.

Cons

White-glove service mentality. Must be very quick on your feet to deliver on new starts. This is a heavy metric driven environment when work is slow due to market conditions you may not hit your target goal. Although, leadership says they understand I’m not sure they do as there’s always that pressure and expedition to do the impossible given the state of the economy, market conditions, no new starts and etc. You may be tasked to take on additional side tasks during no new starts. Leveraging side tasks and your own work can potentially lead to burnout. I had voiced this to my Team Lead and was still offered up to take additional side tasks. Leadership will often offer you to take side work without syncing so be ready to be caught off guard. Leadership preaches about the importance of strong work life balance however you will more than likely stay online beyond normal working hours. When clients are unresponsive leadership will push you to do immense outreach. Be ready to call and email very second of the working hour (maybe even after).
