Thanks for mentioning the V-Ride van-pool. Surya provides two; one from Midtown and one from Kennesaw. You are correct; our employees do indeed work long hours from time to time. We have out grown our original offices, but we will be moving to a new building with 1 million square feet in 2015.

Pros

One of the only things I found appealing about working for Surya is the fact that many of your peers are supportive and enjoyable to be around. The company tends to higher very young employees, likely for salary reasons, but this can be a plus for younger workers looking to be around people their own age.

Cons

-The management as a whole presents a large obstacle to this company. Management tends to be very dismissive, condescending, and often rude to many employees. One must have a very thick skin to work here, and be prepared to have impossible task set before you. -Another common complaint from employees was poor compensation. If you do want to work for Surya, be prepared to make less than market wage. -Management claims that they are generous with time off, including comp time, but many employees are not adequately compensated with comp time. Many employees work 14-16 hours for at least a week during markets, and I have seen these employees only be compensated with one comp day after all that. -Turnover at Surya seems to be quite high from what I could tell, and this results in management constantly conducting interviews. On any given week in my department alone, there are at least 15 interviews conducted.

Surya has many hard-working and talented people who are passionate about what they do. You are correct, our employees do indeed work long hours from time to time, and yes, they receive paid time off in response. We often hear nice comments about our employees and how they respect each other. Thank you for pointing that out.

The most difficult place I have ever worked

Pros

The lower level employees are amazingly hard workers and easy to get along with.

Cons

The pay is well BELOW market standards, the management has no regard for respecting employees, there are too many upper management "Presidents" who micro-manage with an iron-fist. The lack of organization makes you wonder how this company ever lasted. The owner flaunts how much money the company makes at company meetings and yet refuses to pay employees fairly then states that Americans feel they have a sense of entitlement.The atmosphere is one of oppression and favoritism. People have absolutely no sense of job stability or advancement if you are not of Indian nationality.

Surya is incrementally increasing compensation for our employees, but as a small company, it takes time. The new HR team is working with leadership to develop structures and standards, which will help improve our organizational processes.
