Pros

1) CEO has great foresightedness 2) A games room ( should be treated as a con because if you want to achieve better not make this the attraction to be in any firm)

Cons

1) CEO has great plans as mentioned but not at all aware of the non-rational middle management who know nothing about management and how to deal with projects 2) A lot of POLITICS when it comes to relationship between managers and analysts , something very destructive for one's career 3) HR also involved with managers in politics 3) Existing employees call some managers as DICTATORS because they don't listen, just do everything their way , so you have no say. 4) Great disparity when it comes to compensation - It's all RANDOM - one needs to be lucky or help managers in personal tasks 5) You don't get promoted on the basis of work rather it is manager's personal call 6) Middle management is inexperienced and panics at small problems 7) No good people working here, almost every IITian and people from IIM have left 8) Nothing good to offer in terms of work 9) Attrition level at peak 10) Promises are broken very very frequently - CAN'T TRUST

Sorry to hear about the poor experience you have had. "Politics", "Dictators", "Can't trust"? Doesn't feel like the Fractal we know. We take pride in our culture of trust, transparency and freedom, so it is hard to understand why your experience has been so different. I'd be very interested in your perspective and the reasons for your poor experience. Please do share this with me directly - email/call/stop by at the office. Raj

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
