As an organization it provides enough exposure to employees who have already spent good number of years in protecting them/growing them in all aspects. Few employees who have performed well/in good terms with the leadership get best possible backing in growing within the organization.

Dislikes

Dummy feedback system. Non-professional HRs. Very bad planning as an organization. Sometimes I felt like the vision is not very clear.

The people are helpful and have a good nature.

Dislikes

The promotion policies are worst. There are no such tools or work ex that you get which you can employ in other companies. The notice period of 3 months is uncalled for. Top Management is not supportive and not prepared for doing business.

The only thing I can think of is the free food. They have free food in the house, so if you are visiting office you can pre-book your meal.

Dislikes

Long list. Will try to highlight important ones. 1) Tech stack: They have their own odessa framework which basically sits on top of .net framework. So you will have to learn their framework first in order to work on any projects. There is no learning opportunities. 2) No proper requirements: There is no planning on how to gate the requirement. They just take the requirement without even understanding how their system works. Since their product is on old technology it is very difficult to do new changes in the product, which the non technical people doesn't understand. 3) Many senior tech employees doesn't know about the new tech skills and they will create a environment where they feel comfortable. 4) Office politics is worst here you will be evaluated based on your line manager feedback. So irrespective how much effort you put in, all will go into vain if you get bad feedback. Line manager will always put dev team under the bus for their mistakes. 5) Compensation and hikes is worst here and is not comparable as per the industry standards. The list is long as I said but these are the some major ones. One advice to new joiners is that only join if you don't have any other options<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Advice to management is that invest on technology</mark>. Instead of hiring people in leadership role....Read More

Compensation is at par with market for new hires.

Dislikes

Odessa is more of a Pretend-Play setup than an organization. It has had a culture of lying to customers and then pressuring the team to deliver. Leadership is just trying to save their jobs and playing favorites always. If you put your head down and work you are a great asset to them. They don't really want people having any new ideas which don't align with there own thought process. After the acquisition there is no job safety for anyone. I sincerely suggest people looking for long term and fulfilling career to stay away....Read More

Good % hike while offering a job. However, once they find anyone with less pay with more years of experience, they will revoke the offer even 2 days before the joining date. one of my teammate got fired just because they found a new replacement with less pay. many of XAAS team VPs were fired because they questioned on estimation reduction plan of Management....Read More

Dislikes
