I have been with Nagarro for almost four years now, and my review is well thought, sincere and unbiased, unlike many positive ones that seem coerced by HR or some hired marketing agency to sing Nagarro's praises.
Unfortunately, the leadership at this organization consists of a self-proclaimed closed circle of individuals (Husbands, wives, relatives, and old timers) who see themselves as tech geniuses and business experts. However, in reality, many of them are just good speakers, some thrive on personal relationships, office politics, and hidden agendas, and perhaps one or two are genuine (but average) leaders. They lack the skills to run the company effectively, treat employees poorly, and have implemented broken and illogical processes. There is not a single role model to look up to in the entire company.
Nagarro claims to have a culture of "CARING," but in reality, this culture does not exist. The organization's policies change frequently without any logical reasoning, based solely on the whims of the CEO and senior management. While the senior management spends lavishly on their own globe-trotting, extravagant parties, and attending useless conferences and events, junior employees are left to beg for their basic rights.
Nagarro's selfish and lately dictator mindset is evident in its delayed DRY promotions, delayed appraisals, and meager appraisal percentages (2 – 5%), even for loyal, top performers. Recently, Nagarro deducted (extorted) the entire organization's bonus component from employee salaries due to missing targets by a mere 1% (which is essentially a question mark on the top leadership's performance). Now, they have increased this component by up to 20% by cannibalizing the salary's fixed component without employee consent, further burdening the workforce. If that was not enough, to further bleed the employees, Nagarro recently reduced the number of fixed leaves available for the year. As a result, employees' quality of life is declining, it is becoming difficult for them to make ends meet, and the work culture is becoming increasingly toxic, demotivating, and sadist. The HR department is merely namesake; they open tickets that take months to resolve, if at all. This further exacerbates employees' anxiety, leaving them to endure a painful wait for resolution. Many good employees have already left or are in the process of leaving, while Nagarro attempts to replace them with less competent and cheaper alternatives.
There is no job security, and firing employees for trivial reasons while they are on the bench is an ongoing practice at Nagarro.
Additionally, Nagarro lacks flexibility in project assignments, often allocating projects randomly without considering employees' skills or aspirations. Many Centers of Excellence and Practices within the organization are incompetent, surviving mainly on staff augmentation engagements. Despite this, Nagarro promotes itself as the best, which is far from the truth.
The employee stock program, MyN, heavily promoted by the CEO, has caused financial harm to many employees. The stock price plummeted by 50% after the first round, and despite this, employees were encouraged to invest further in the next round resulting in further losses, and recently the 3rd time again.
Considering all these factors, I advise against joining Nagarro, and I encourage other Nagarrians to speak out about their experiences for the benefit of the larger working community.
I challenge Nagarro's management to refute this feedback as mere allegations, but I urge them to do so respectfully and without ego.
