Chetu reviews

large majority of favorable reviews on here are "astroturf" Culture of fear throughout (India & US) major nepotism in the US management & NAM teams, you either placate & majorly kiss the CEO's butt or you are forever on the outside looking in, sucking up to him at all times is the name of the game or you'll never go anywhere. The co. is quick to get into lawsuits regularly over work product, bills, etc. NAMs are expected to collect the accounts rather than the "accounting" AR group, 4-5 hrs a week regularly spent grilling/ drilling the NAMs on how they could better do their jobs, it's a huge grind just going to the meetings and listening to people either suck up or get blasted. Commissions are low & slow to grow to much because so many engagements end so quickly or with dissatisfied clients, so you can rarely bring in enough into the front door to outpace whats "leaving out the back" Majority of west to east trips home are red eyes to save travel expense. All emails are monitored so communication with Indian DO's that are stateside has to be done via text messaging because no one would dare email to each other or IM (also monitored) for fear of being blasted by the CEO, there is to be limited contact between Ops & Sales. The CEO is a major "keyboard gangster" that is regularly nice to your face or on calls but loves blowing staff out via heavy handed and highly unprofessional emails, or having his Directors do his dirty work on phone calls. Another oddity is that he IM's them direction on how to interrogate the NAMs on team calls if the director isn't being hard enough on them on their own.

Low pay, terrible management. This is the kind of company that uses as much free stuff as they can, rather than pay for software and systems that they use. CEO tries to micromanage all teams, rather than let the team managers actually lead. My immediate manager was no better however. There are many many issues at this company, but here are two examples: they constantly reorganize the team and assign people tasks that are outside of their skillsets. Management then questions why staff are underperforming. Second issue: my manager has no concept of office professionalism, and would discuss wildly inappropriate topics such as what they perceived the orientation of other coworkers to be, and why she wrote up teammates, and why others quit and/or were fired. Despite very low pay, I was tasked with enough work for 3 people, and none of it would have had any impact on the team's goals/success metrics. You will be expected to stay late to complete your overload of work.
