Pros

There are no real pros unless you like to be a part of a lower caste system.

Cons

This company systematically discriminates against non South Asian employees. They are especially discriminatory to Americans and very hostile to women. The only women they hire to retain are those who advance and preserve their horrific treatment of women. Their recruiting is only out of India and lie to American Companies requesting stateside resources. It is the worst place to work and lie to their clients. They speak about the company as ‘one and done’. Meaning they lie to win the business then are rarely renewed based on horrible delivery. Companies hiring them for low cost without doing a thorough due diligence will pay the price. The infighting between two separate global business units ensure failure of customer projects. Communications and comprehension of business requirements is woefully inadequate. I wish it was different but this 40 year staff augmentation trying to be a real systems integrator is being sabotaged by the internal staffs responsible for delivery on critical customer projects. They are regularly sued for discrimination (and lose), have more EEOC actions filed against them so if you are a talented US based IT talent stay away. Their unethical practices toward customers asking you to mislead them combined with very abusive treatment will never square with the ethics of Americans. The sheer number of streaming legal actions on a continual basis confirms their total disregard for employment laws and obligations to clients. It’s really terrible and not a one off but rampant.

Pros

Buildit people on the ground (NOT INCLUDING LEADERSHIP) are very nice. There are some talented smart people who work there (emphasis: NOT INCLUDING LEADERSHIP). For a while work from home policy was great, until they took that away too. Because of the constant lack of work, if you're lucky you may get some time to work on your side hustle if you have one. If you don't have a side hustle, there's no way you'll be able to survive this dump without losing a little bit of your soul. If you look at the good reviews on here, you will see that they were all written before summer of 2019. That's when things went south, really quickly.

Cons

Where do I even begin? I've never worked in such a toxic culture where leadership and your direct managers clearly have no business being in those positions. They're simply not qualified to lead sheep, let alone people. I'm talking specifically about the buildit CEO and one of the studio leads. You may be more qualified than people around you, but unless you're part of the exclusive list of management's favorites, you will be gaslighted, overlooked, and disrespected many times - behind your back. If you're lucky enough to have a colleague who is part of that exclusive club who can give you the inside scoop, that's the only way you'll know what's really being said about you, meanwhile leadership and management will tell you everything is peachy to your face. Honest feedback and constructive criticism are hard to come by, unless you can find that one semi-honest manager and probe them directly for the truth. In case you haven't picked up on this by now, nepotism is a very real thing, not just at Wipro but at Buildit too. I've seen good people do really messed up things to others in an attempt for self-preservation; the culture is becoming that toxic. I just talked about the culture of the company. The work is another joke. It's either you're left without work for months, or you're working on overdrive for months. It's really a coin toss. My advice would be "don't work there unless you are literally pushed into a corner and have no other option!" If that's what your situation is, I'm really sorry for what you're about to go through. Here's some advice to make your time there easier: 1. Cozy up to the buildit CEO as soon as you get there. He will still gaslight you, but at least you'll have opportunities to get on projects and MAYBE he won't talk as much crap about you behind your back. 2. Start a business and fill your life with things that make you happy outside of work. That's the only way you won't come out of this bitter and angry. The pay is decent, but the money is really not worth it. You can find a much better deal elsewhere. Wipro aleady has a bad reputation. Buildit brands itself as bring different than Wipro. That used to be the case, but not anymore. There's been so much turnover in leadership and the place is now unrecognizable (not in a good way.) Google Wipro and see for yourself. Buildit is now the exact same. As you can tell, I can't stand the company, and most of my past colleagues feel the same. But on the plus side, the job did wonders for my side business. I could really focus on developing my business because I was on the bench for a while, and most importantly, because I learned how to completely emotionally detach myself from the madness at work. Run far far away from here. But if you get caught in this hell hole...may the force be with you.

Pros

Salary, if you can negotiate above market compensation.

Cons

1) Very weak talent pool in the US. 2) No opportunities for advancement in the US unless you're from India. 3) There's a proliferation of really poor ethics throughout the US organization. 4) They do not adhere to or value commonplace US workplace laws (state or federal). 5) It's a glorified staffing agency masquerading in the US as a technology consultancy. 6) They do recruit, attract, or retain talent; I don't believe they care to. They just want bodies to fill roles. 7) Their business model is to staff locally to the project, so they find themselves always in an endless cycle of recruiting an unskilled talent workforce without a feasible path for developing meaningful technical skills. 8) They foster a harassing workplace environment (within the US). 9) You'll report to manager (in India) you'll never meet. 10) Etc...
