Pros

Open culture, Visionary CEO, Flexible timing

Cons

Fractal is not what it used to be, although CEO has a great vision about the company and Analytics industry but is unable to imbibe it within the organisation as the Apex team is very week and are unable to take responsibilities. Fractal although is 15 years old organisation but not matured and thus doesn't learn from it's mistakes. Infact in tough times, there decision making is even worse. Fractal came up with People Principles which seems to be extinct now as no one follows it esp. when it relates to moving within projects and choosing Managers. Fractal has invested so much in coming up with different platforms, KM, FMS, Hive to name a few but information in all these tools is still incomplete and hence can't be used for the purpose they were created. Fractal has started hiring team in Apex with very less or inaccurate experience and also promoted very old employees but this impacted the Leadership and therefore Apex Members have no idea about the projects and Team Management and are good in blaming team members. Although Fractal has standard goals across organisation and few rules for promotions but none of them are followed and a few people are promoted even if they haven't achieved goals whereas others are still waiting

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
