Pros

Good salary. Permanent work from home

Cons

Only thing happens here is politics .. if you can do politics then only you will survive. Their managers are good for nothing and only listen to handful of old employees specially females. No mental peace. You won't get any time for your family at all. If you don't align with manager they will fire you in 1 month in the name of disciplinary action.

Not good place to work

Sr. practice manager
Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility. Lot of opportunities to improve upon technically and functionally Lot of scope for development of one's skills understanding mid level managers and leads. Very good place to start career as ample opportunities are provided for growth. Great team bonding

Cons

Changes policies at their whim No proper communication system. No to so confidence inspiring leadership team. Less scope for role progress in offshore if you are manager or above. Too much of overhead team which is not involved in delivery but cost huge as most of them are paid in USD pay scale. One of the few companies to have 10hr work day (includes 1hr break time) whereas norm is 9hr workday (including 1hr break). Different cycles for merit (Apr-Mar) and variable pay (Jan-Dec)

They did not pay my yearly bonus, which they promised to pay 100 % at the time of my joining, such a cheap and unprofessional act !! Managers and HRs not supportive, very rude behavior... No work life balance .... Leaves are never approved I will not recommend anyone to join this company.

Dear Consultant, Thank you for your review, we value your input as an employee and appreciate you bringing your concern to our attention. AST strives and strongly believes in nurturing transparency at all times and hence all attempts are made to familiarize employees about the policies of the organization before they join and at regular intervals during the course of employment. As per organization policy, “Yearly bonus” is linked to performance outcome being a key eligibility parameter, the same is referenced in the offer letters and internal policies which are available for employees for reference during employment. Please feel free to get in touch with AST Management and share more details about your unpleasant experience which gives us an opportunity to analyze and correct it, if there is any issue. We wish you good luck in your new career. Thanks.

Great Company for Professional Growth

Pros

What more can one ask for than work for Chicago’s Best and Brightest Companies? It has been a wonderful experience right from my first interview to when I accepted the offer to until today. AST has the BEST and very well-defined onboarding process that begins with their HR Business Partner welcoming you by email as well as on the phone and then your People’s Manager assigns an Onboarding Champion for you who reaches out to you daily to check if you need any help and have any questions. The focus is on teamwork, so all colleagues are very supportive. AST is quite a place to champion diversity, equity and inclusions (DEI), everyone is welcomed to innovate so that we can all be better together. You can join various Employee Resource Groups and they all support DEI. There is easy access to top management who take the time to meet with all new hires during the 1st two week, the CEO, Justin Winter is super amazing with down to earth personality and fully supports DEI. He personally meets everyone during their 1st week and is reachable anytime by all staff. I love that there are internal projects that lead to continuous process improvement and operational excellence. The focus of these projects includes helping clarifying roles and responsibilities for improved accountability. The internal projects provide opportunity for the staff to practice firsthand what we preach / teach to our clients and equip us to be their best possible business partners.

Cons

The only downside that I have experienced is not being able to meet in person but we use TEAMS video meeting to collaborate so it’s quite a work around.

The Best Team

Business Outlook

Pros

• Met one-on-one with each member of C-suite during onboarding (as an entry-level employee) • CEO hosts periodic "Straight Talk" calls asking various groups of employees about the challenges we're facing • Management is willing to invest in new tools and staff to support growth • Management and HR are honestly eager to understand people's needs • Mentorship program - I met with a VP biweekly for 6 months • My direct manager is always available and communicative • Teammates and larger AST team are friendly and supportive • Real support (not just talk) for unplugging while on time off • Open (unlimited) time off • Flexibility to work from home or office

Cons

• Growing pains (unavoidable for a company growing as quickly as AST): we are reinventing processes on the fly • Like any geographically dispersed, WFH company, it can be hard to connect with people outside your team • I hear some people work longer hours and find it difficult to take time off, but this has never been a problem for me

Risky place to work

Pros

If you like to just keep sitting and work on documentation only, then this is best place for you.

Cons

Well, I worked here for 1 year and all I did is made ppts and documents. 3 of my friends have been asked to move out in last 3 months due to their requesting some tangible work. My learning stopped here and lack of exposure to technology have made me lag. Onsite team does all client interaction and config and offshore is just to make hellish documents. And there is only 1 manager here in Pune office , and he is the worst I have seen in my last 7 years and you have to follow him. If you dont, then he will make sure that you are thrown out by playing all politics. He will ask consultants to make videos and say good about the compnay and his manager, only for the puspose of his promotion. I can tell you from heart, no body is happy here. THey will even ask to submit your original documnets when they release offer letter and to get that back is tough.
