PowerSchool India Software Development Engineer II Reviews

Likes

Having been part of PowerSchool for the past few years, I feel truly fortunate to be part of this family. The way our leadership address our questions, support growth, and help shape our career paths is outstanding. Recently, I came across some negative comments, and it surprised me to see how people could speak so poorly of others.We all experience both good and challenging days at work, but that doesn't mean we should criticise our workplace or leadership. From what I have read, it seems these comments may be rooted in personal issues with managers or senior leadership, which is disappointing to see. In my experience, PowerSchool is a fantastic place to work. Our managers and senior leadership understand our situations and genuinely support the team. We should value that and strive to maintain a respectful, positive workspace by respecting our leaders and each other. People must think carefully before posting such comments - no one is perfect. Let's make an effort to show respect to each others....Read More

Dislikes

No work life balance (sometimes have to work for 16-17 hours in a day( Not a good culture specially director level people abuse you on call and favour whom they like. Promotions only when they are forced to give else only favourite will get Promotions. No merit based recognitions, they only recognize selected people in team, others are never given any opportunity. If you try to give bad reviews they come to you indirectly (as they already know youbhave given bad review). Salary is not competitive and hikes are very less 5-6% on average( but not for favourites)....Read More

Advice to HR : Prioritising talent retention and performance management is must requirement. Professional services leadership team is making commendable efforts to ensure job security for all employees. However, it is crucial to address performance issue and under performing MANAGER should be transitioned out of the organisation to maintain the effectiveness and drive overall success.

My journey with PS has been incredible. I began my professional career here as a fresher, and the work culture and environment are truly remarkable. When I initially joined, PS was still new in India, and the team was small. However, I immediately felt a strong sense of belonging and camaraderie. PS genuinely treats its employees like family, and it's not just a saying; they truly live by it. This culture is a testament to the leadership that has shaped the organization. Although I briefly left for another opportunity, I found myself returning within a few months and my second chapter with PS has been just as fulfilling as the first. Thanks to its exceptional work culture, PS has a significant number of long-tenured employees who continue to thrive within the organization. This supportive and inclusive environment has fostered strong employee loyalty, encouraging many individuals to build and sustain their careers with PS over the years. The positive culture not only attracts new talent but also ensures that experienced professionals remain committed, contributing their valuable knowledge and skills to the company's ongoing success...Read More

I had a pleasure working with my team, and their dedication and expertise are truly remarkable. Team consistently go above and beyond to ensure highest quality of work. Leadership provides complete transparency and making the work process smooth and productive. Below are some of my personal experiences working with PowerSchool: 1) My work is recognised and appreciated which pushed me to go an extra mile every time. 2) Managers and Leadership team takes quick positive action on any feedback shared by employees. 3) The processes are so well defined which makes work lot easier since everything is documented. ( You know whom to reach-out for any help / Support) 4)Leadership team is truly transparent with company’s numbers during team meetings, It seems like a personal victory when we hit the target/Milestone. 5)They take Fun - Seriously :) , You will never feel bored here .

PowerSchool India was great initially. But since a few months, it has become disappointing and stressful. Too much work and no life balance (Hopefully this will stop after we go private). They think this is a playground and anyone can come and play in Professional Services. Both husband and wife are now trying to run the show with wife not having any certification or skill set but is becoming part of project management. The deserving people are not even screened or looked at because of this biasness for the married couple (the 2 Associate Managers). There is a separate group of people who think they are very smart. I hope the upper management is realizing what they are doing by promoting wrong people....Read More
