Pros

Pay and benefits are OK

Cons

1. The senior management and middle management change the policies and decisions everyday and they blame you for any negative impacts while you are executing them. 2. No career road map for anybody. 3. Middle management and Senior management do not know how to run the services business. 4. Company is running on a high risk conveyor belt and customers are not paying them for months, engaged in lot of disputes at all levels. 5. Appraisals and promotions are purely on luck and favouritisim. 6. They hire people from very big MNC' s just to demoralize them. 7. The environment is purely designed for failure for any project. 8. Platform team and their support is big chaos. 9. They are understaffed in all respects, so people were slogging all through the midnights and weekends. 10. No Work culture at all, we see people struggling to meet their deliverables everyday. 11. There are rumors that this company will be sold shortly, not sure when ?

Pros

The employees are great. Most people are very smart and passionate about what they do. In the time I was there I never had any problem working with anyone in the company. Always someone to go to lunch with and lots of staff drinks after work (mostly organized by staff and not management) Good flexibility for work-life balance...for some people

Cons

- Disorganized. - Not diverse. - No support for career advancement/training/certification/education - Totally inconsistent with a lack of focus. Strategic direction seems to change every 6 months and it never makes complete sense. - Leadership is tone deaf to the market and is not willing to adapt. Stubbornness is why nothing is selling and the company is falling apart. - Top Leadership doesn't engage with employees unless they feel like they have to. - HR is beyond useless and gossips about EVERYONE. There is no confidentiality in HR. - Lots of recent turnover with long time employees because of messed up operations and managers egos. - LOTS of people have left to go work for the founder of Kony at his new company, or they left to go back to their old jobs. - TERRIBLE operations. Travel policy is crazy!!! Some people can't afford to come out of pocekt and be reimbursed for almost everything. $7k in expenses for travel is ridiculous!
