Pros- laid back, corporate Amex isn’t absolutely required, firm initiatives aren’t required
Cons - incompetent leadership, a laggard in methodology, low pay, low diversity, low brand name equity, cannot expense lunch, benefits suck

Their acquisition of iGATE a few years ago drove me out. Started out of GT as a tech consultant. Loved the work, hated the organization. Got stuck on a shit project and bailed. People act like hot shot big 4, but it’s all the kids who couldn’t get there. Significantly underpaid for the market. Can’t expense lunch but breakfast + dinner is more than some firms that are cheap and use the government reimbursement model. Benefits do indeed suck.

Great place to work. Great collaborative style; almost too much. Columbia is a development center so travel should be manageable. Been here 10 years after stints at other tier 1. Capgemini is the best fit for me. I agree the gate acquisition was not a positive.

Apply for p dubs delivery center, at least you get name recognition

Agree with m1 cap still has a long way to go before it gets respect in the US. In Europe it’s a different story.
