Pros

Flexi work hours More Autonomy at work A sincere, genuine and hardworking CEO, without whom the company would have reached no where Free food Training sessions conducted by FAA Decent pay scale

Cons

No mapping of skill sets and educational back ground in project allocation. This leads to two problems. 1. An MBA, stats and economics grad feel they are working on something that's completely irrelevant to their field of study. 2. Engineers feel that they get paid marginally less though they do the same job as that of an MBA. Eventually, both the reasons result in high attrition Got an investor last year, which is putting more pressure on achieving growth targets and that is pushing the company to accept all sorts of work that generate revenue If you get to join the most prominent client account of Fractal, you are screwed as it is purely reporting and hardly anyone works on actual analytics there Middle management(analytics lead and senior consultants) of the prominent client account(as I know about only those) is pathetic. Many of them don't even know the difference between 'analysis' and 'analytics'. They abuse business jargons in the meetings without understanding the meaning. Most encouraged initiatives are to build operational excellence and that shows the company is nothing but a KPO Though the senior leadership is good, they have lost the control and they do not know what the kind of work analysts do in their respective projects Not the right company for MBA, stats, maths and eco grads. You will be disappointed with the kind of work you do(unless you are extremely lucky)

Pros

Good brand name in analytics space in India. The CEO. Good for entry level employees

Cons

Top management lacks Srikanth's (the CEO) passion. Lateral recruits given step-motherly treatment. Low growth opportunity given for people who started their career in Fractal.

Pros

A good chunk of people here are great. They make Fractal a fun place to work at. Besides, there's lots of travel opportunities.

Cons

Lately, the executive team has been getting everything wrong. Is being process driven the only way to scale up?
