Pros

1.Excellent work-life balance 2.CEO 3.Transparent Appraisal process

Cons

1. Cheap mentally people who get hired laterally at Lead or Consultant level and have no idea about the company culture or the kind of work which is being executed 2.These leads or consultants feels that doing hands-on work is well below their pay-grade and does not show any inclination towards learning the work and share the work-load. 3.These leads or consultants will leave at 6 pm sharp whereas the entire team of Analysts and Senior Analysts will slog till mid night 4. The 8-9 hours spent by the Leads or Consultants in the office is broken down as follows - Play online games...Skype with their spouses...Involve in back-bitching and playing politics to take away the credits of Analysts or Senior Analysts... 5.As per our CEO every employee of Fractal is first an Analyst and then his respective designation, so according to him every employee should know hands-on work. When this point was raised in one of the team meetings, one of the VP level employee said he disapproves of what the CEO preaches. (Mr. CEO, whom should we listen to - your open ended assurances or the people who call the shots in project execution and treat Analysts/Senior Analysts as slaves) 6.The biggest account of Fractal has a number of Analytics Leads and Senior Consultants who have ruined the career of I don't know how many Analysts and Senior Analysts by taking away their credit for personal growth

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
