Pros

1) I was on bench for months, there are no pros that i can share apart from salary structure.

Cons

1) Pay cuts: First company in NCR that introduced pay cuts just 1 month after Covid as if they were waiting desperately for this to happen. 2) Fired many employees without any reason. 3) Not enough projects, no long term projects and you have to suffer from the RAP team. You might be wondering what is RAP? It is the team that allocates projects. This is how it happens. 5-6 candidates will be asked to go to a meeting room where the manager or managers will ask you questions one by one. They will mock you with sarcastic comments in front of everyone. It's like software engineers shop where managers will choose what to buy. There is no privacy. The last person to answer questions obviously has advantage as he gets time to think and can get idea from others.Still they think this RAP is transparent.

Nagarro Response

By collectively taking pay cuts (higher for senior people) we have together protected the jobs of hundreds of Nagarrians through this epidemic. As part of the announcement, we also took care to give more than a month’s notice, so that all Nagarrians can raise queries and they can be addressed in a transparent manner..As some markets start to re-open gradually, it seems this strategy may have worked out well. However, it is also true that we routinely let a small number of people go for performance or attitude reasons, after providing them multiple opportunities and after careful evaluation and documentation. This was happening even before COVID. We understand that such a separation weighs heavily on the individual, and we sympathise. Still, Nagarro must remain a high-performance organization even as it scales. Our core values CARING include R for Responsibility, and this covers the responsibility of the company but also the responsibility of the individual. Regards, Mukund

Pros

Very flexible and good for work/life balance. Insurance is fully paid for by the company and doesn’t come out of your check which is a pro.

Cons

For this position, your employment only goes as far as billable hours go. If they are running low on projects, they will give you a 2 weeks notice to look for a project within the company and HR claims they will help you, but in my experience they did not.
