Pros

Unlimited days off Free lunch

Cons

- CEO needs to stop begging people to leave positive glass door ratings. Do not leave them as do not have them - People principles is not followed as even freshers are told need to do roles or leave - CEO says open and trusting culture does not show in actions or treating of employees

Hi there, Thank you for your review and your frank feedback - I did perceive the risk of being judged when I wrote an email requesting for people to write reviews on glassdoor (not positive or negative reviews but objective reviews). I am sorry that I offended you by my request. It would be great if you could point out specific issues that we should address at Fractal. Changing the CEO might be a solution but let's first understand the issues in greater detail. Freshers have a lot of say in choosing what they do - if you find an exception, please point it out to me and I will ensure we fix it. I would be very happy to meet with you and discuss your specific issues. Please help me in building a great place to work. Regards, Srikanth

Pros

Srikanth and his humility, Few jovial ppl Had joined hearing it had good culture, still trying to find it though

Cons

People principle, flexibility to work is a big big facade and hoax. Senior senior management refers to it as 'people principle and all that crap'. I voiced my opinion and was threatened it will 'effect my growth'. No ethics, except for a handful of people. Specially US leadership is ready to fall down to extreme levels for immediate and short-sighted benefits. A bunch of bullies pushing anyone who differs. Don't give power to even account managers after mismanaging expectations. Unable to staff people after promising sales. Ask middle management to handle things, while they try to 'engage' with false growth promises. Old people show too much power while new ones have to establish against all obstacles. Almost threatening. Salary is also very low compared to others because of few decision makers. Hoard of new senior managers joining who are ever so loud and cannot stop boasting about themselves. Pushy, desperate to impress Srikanth.

Lack of resources, nonexistent support and communication

Pros

Good pay, at least for leadership roles

Cons

Company overpromises to clients, and internal team leaders regarding support resulting in burnout since day-1. This will result in further tarnishing of company name, as clients are quickly already learning better than to trust pitched/promised deliverables that aren't currently supported.
