Pros

Good people, good product development work, Flexible timing, good work culture, good free food

Cons

Lot of politics at work, all credit is absorbed by select few who are old brilliant is face of management. New person joining at Lead level have no scope of getting worth for his/her performance. Poor appraisal and promotion system, all based on quota system; only X % of team can have Y grade. This is team sprit killer, what if entire team is good performer, this just de-motivates and very hard for Lead to explain rational behind poor grades when person has done pretty good job. To many frequent changes in management, appears like they have deliberate kho-kho competition during appraisals so that no manager is accountable for your performance. Now they are going into new horrific model, all engineering teams are considered as factory & there would real champion guys bringing all the business. Factory labor(engineers) just needs to deliver whatever is thrown at them.

Pros

Persistent Systems provides good learning opportunities, supportive teams, and exposure to real client-facing projects. The work environment is professional, and employees get chances to improve technically, take ownership, and grow with the right guidance.

Cons

Since I am still relatively new to the organization, I have not experienced any major cons that need to be highlighted at this point. So far, the overall experience has been positive, and I am still learning more about the company culture, processes, and long-term growth opportunities.

Pros

I recently joined Persistent Systems and have had a positive experience so far. The company provides opportunities to work with modern technologies, learn new skills, and collaborate with talented professionals. The onboarding process was well organized, and the support from team members and managers has been helpful. The work environment is professional and employee-friendly, with a strong focus on continuous learning and career growth. I appreciate the company's investment in training, certifications, and emerging technologies such as AI and automation. The culture encourages collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation.

Cons

Compensation can be lower than market rates for certain roles and experience levels. While the learning opportunities and work environment are strong, salary growth may not always keep pace with industry benchmarks.
