Pros

The company has very little rather nothing to brag about!!

Cons

There are lots of it. 1. Very restricted in terms of freedom of thought(new ideas errrr) and expression(Include movement in that too). 2. Small company so as expected, a handful of the not-so-senior people dominate the workplace and a handful of seniors make you feel they are not around. (arghhh!!!). 3. Total 'Chaos' at work ( I mean the very literal sense of the word). These people themselves don't know what they want and if by any chance they are able to figure that out, the whole process is chaotic and people at the lower levels have to bear the brunt of it. 4. The work process followed is BOGUS. Besides that, they manage to invent and re-invent there bogus processes with every forthcoming sprints(Works on agile so you know what I mean). 5. Maintains several copies of a single codebase and the developer is expected to develop, test it ( Mind you the code should be totally bug free from their side) and at the same time merge and de-merge that very code several hundreds of times in each of the codebases. Even the entire documentation is expected from the developer. 6. No peace at work place. 7. And not to forget the age-old technology that is used. Very true, that one becomes technologically handicapped in Acclaris. Your market value reduces to ZERO if you stay here for more than a year or two.

Pros

Good compensation and salary benefits among kolkata based software companies.

Cons

Following are the challenges of working in Acclaris : 1) Fully outdated in terms of technology. 2) Software design, architecture and technology being used in the product easily shows that nobody never cared about updating it to get in sync with current market. 3) People working for longer duration of time in Acclaris become technically paralyzed , which results into less career opportunities for them. 4) Senior management contains mostly people from extremely weak educational background. Most of the senior managers are just MCA or BCA from some distance learning course. 5) Some of the managers sitting in top positions just harass employees which makes the ambience totally uncomfortable.

Pros

My department was excellent at providing work-life balance and opportunities for personal growth and professional development. I had excellent coworkers both within my department and throughout the business who were both knowledgable resources and able to dedicate time to providing guidance on projects. The company as a whole did a nice job of making a pleasant work environment and treating the staff.

Cons

As they are a growing company, I think there are some areas for improvement as the business adapts to growing from a small to a mid-size company. Senior management seemed stretched too thin, I think in the long run it may be effective to train non-management team members to be subject matter experts and be given more responsibility in making day-to-day decisions, so senior management does not have to be so heavily involved with every aspect of each project, and focus more on strategic planning. The good news is that everyone is receptive to new ideas and process improvements as they grow, until they find a system that works. I always felt like I had a voice.
