Company has potential only if they are able to fix few issues.

My experience: I am writing to provide critical feedback on the  leadership approach ( especially the reporting manager), as it significantly impacts the team’s dynamics and overall productivity. While the position provides a unique opportunity to inspire and guide team members ,there are recurring concerns that must be addressed tofoster a healthy and effective working environment.  1. Capability and Role Alignment: Leadership demands placing the right people in the right roles. At times, it seems we are assigning tasks or responsibilities without fully considering individual strengths, resulting in inefficiencies and frustration. Misaligned roles create an atmosphere akin to "the blind leading the blind," ultimately undermining team performance.  2. Fairness and Impartiality:A leader must be the embodiment of fairness. However, there have been noticeable instances of bias in decision-making, especially uplifting their followers coming out of regional biasness, leading to perceptions of selective enforcement of rules. As the saying goes, "rules are for thee but not for me." This practice erodes trust and discourages open communication and collaboration among team members.  3. Responsible Use of Authority: Effective leadership requires balance, but there have been moments where authority seems to be misused or overly asserted. Such behavior, often perceived as "throwing one’s weight around" or being "drnk with power," stifles innovation and creates a restrictive atmosphere. Authority should be used to empower, not to control or diminish others.  These issues are not just observations—they are barriers to the team’s success and morale. Leadership is about setting an example and creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and motivated. These are to be reflected by higher ups and also requires actionable steps to rebuild trust and promote fairness<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Advice to the management: Homework before you make anyone as the leader</mark>. Drnk with power individuals only destroy the stability....Read More

The products that Planview has to offer is amazing.

Dislikes

Too much politics goes on in the Planview CIC leadership team. The leaders are all talks and no action. They just want to make sure to get the work done from the employees and don't care about the well being. At the end of the day, they would give the CIC award instead of a hike in thesalary to keep the mouth shut. I seriously regret joining this god forsaken company....Read More

I heard a lot of good thing and hence joined. The new leadership in Sales and locally made the life miserable. While in the USA and EMEA, work culture is really good, locally this is turning into (or already turned) a typical Indian bosses mindset company. Unnecessary pressure, unreasonable demands, inhuman behaviour, compliance issues made me to resign/leave. Leadership failed to create a mark and they blame thier own team members/other cross functional teams. They are good in blame games and will usually show frustration in meetings etc. Now no longer a good place to work. Please don't join. They had a mass hiring just to show numbers to SLT and now suffering with low quality work, toxic environment etc. Number of good people already left and many planning to quit now. Asking everyone to be in office without knowing that number of employees already working/available for almost 12-15 hours. They want you to spend 3-4 hours to travel and then manage work as well....Read More

Great company culture, very nice vibe. Everyone is relaxed and happy to hang out. Work-life balance is really good (Planview builds Agile project management tools, so they’re pretty good at planning - ie no random deadlines, work overloading etc)

Dislikes

Work isn’t very challenging or exciting, for DS it’s mainly prompt writing and/or data analytics.

Sadly, nothing left.

Dislikes

Management quality and professionalism have significantly declined since leadership transitioned from the United States to ILT. In CIC India, several managers lack even basic skills, such as creating a PowerPoint presentation. Some managers, along with their staunch supporters, behave in a manner that can only be described as arrogant and domineering. Their approach to leadership is unprofessional, characterized by an overreliance on AI tools for tasks like drafting emails—highlighting their lack of fundamental competencies. The work culture has become increasingly authoritarian, with team members being treated disrespectfully, as if subordinates are mere instruments for orders. Leadership appears to favor internal promotions within India by systematically sidelining US-based resources, especially in leadership roles. Employees here often feel devalued and unsupported, leading to an environment where morale is at an all-time low. The ability of certain leaders to communicate or articulate the organization's goals is alarmingly inadequate. Their knowledge of the products they manage is superficial at best, and their leadership style fosters a culture of sycophancy. Toxicity and internal politics dominate, creating a chaotic work environment that lacks direction and accountability. This organization currently exhibits clear signs of dysfunction and decline. Prospective employees should carefully reconsider joining, as navigating the layers of internal politics and toxicity can be a daunting and unrelenting challenge. Urgent intervention from the US management is required to restore order and professionalism before the situation worsens further....Read More
