A hybrid work scenario would be more appreciated. 5-day working week feels like a drag!

The company has grown from 0 to 150 in 2years with multiple projects and an amazing leadership. IN office has some amazing young talent, leadership is empathetic towards its employees before, during and I am sure after Covid crisis too. I have developed some amazing skills and learning has always being a part of SP journey.

Dislikes

The building in which our IN office is based has no seperate eating space or cafeteria. For a simple tea, we have to go all the way out across the stree and have our lunch on desk sometime together sometime alone.

Work Details

Sometimes hectic considering I am at a senior position and also my company is growing immensely with multiple projects and multiple departments at the same time. But I have met some amazing people, Great MD and my managers.

Some teams are united internally. If you get in good with them, you can grow both professionally and personally. The company also comes up with good initiatives (like during the pandemic, etc.), but there is no follow through.

Dislikes

Their direction and plans change very frequently, making it hard to see real growth. They also fill top management positions (sometimes randomly), while there is a need for junior level employees. The work culture can be extremely negative if you are not in certain key people's good books, even for trivial instances. I've also noticed instances when rules are changed to accommodate people (and their position); for example, our company makes a big deal out of their flexible work hours, but only a select few can avail this benefit, the rest have a strict working schedule....Read More

Nothing

Dislikes

No job security: The company overnight laidoff employees under the name of no funds. No increment given for more than a year. Some people have bad attitude. They belong to higher management. Many employees left coz of them as well before layoff.

Dislikes

1. Partiality between employees where the non technical teams are given a lot of freedom and perks and the others are forced to follow all rules 2. HR do not care about employees, unless you are in their good books 3. Increments are not given in a timely manner or according to your work, its given in a generic way across the board 4. Company is not at all employee centric but shows off that it is.

1) The company has an all-inclusive culture 2) Has a flat-ish corporate structure 3) A great place to work, people are friendly, and the work-life balance is good overall. 4) The work hours are the lowest I have seen in all my years (8 Hours per Day) and the work week is 5 days (40 Hours). 5)The freshly brewed office coffee and free gym facilities in the building are an added bonus. 6) The company cares about you during a crisis. Bonus Information: They did take care of us during covid, by paying for our & our family's vaccinations, getting covid insurance, also letting us work from home and without any pay cuts....Read More

Dislikes

1) We had a hybrid system in the past which saved a lot of commute time and increased productivity for people living far, but that was removed completely. 2) All saved paid leaves are not carried forward & cannot be encashed, only 8-12 leaves get carried forward. 3) Appraisal and promotions take a lot of time to process and implement after the expected time when they are supposed to be taken into consideration, sometimes months after, sometimes a year, but do get done eventually. 4) PMS is wonky, with unrelated performance judging criteria for some teams. 5) Sometimes externals are promoted over you and/or you are not at all promoted. 6) Sometimes negative feedbacks are completely lost in translation before reaching their intended destination....Read More

Dislikes

Incentive never gets on time, they dont have any genuine leads, you have to call you any random number over there, around after 450+ dail call you get 200 or nearby connected. PF transfers gets very late i need to drop a mail from January to May and the i got my PF in my account of 6months. So policies of incentive criteria are hidden they will inform you about it when you will not get your incentives....Read More

Good Colleagues and good team bonding activities.

Dislikes

No career path, no clarity on what are the expectations and goals that I need to meet. No performance bonus. No parity between US team and Indian team members though they are working on same project doing same work. For example Developers in US work from home and developers in India are asked to work from office. Developers in Indianeed to attend two standup/update calls daily. More tracking of work for Indian developers. Same rules and working conditions should be applicable to all the developers working on same project doing same day to day tasks....Read More
