Pros

My feedback is based on my experience in 2022. There is a drastic shift in culture after the takeover (formerly It was Galvanize and it was great). Team members in india are collaborative.

Cons

The company culture is not very employee-friendly, especially when it comes to work-life balance. Less pay comparatively. No growth. I heard recently that the employees working on weekend. There is soft discrimination on Indian employees compared to Europe counterparts. The leadership does little to address these concerns, which has led to a feeling of being undervalued and overlooked.

Pros

Some of the people are passionate, kind, hard workers

Cons

Very toxic leadership, especially in HR. they label themselves as a “high performing culture” which to them means working 70 hour weeks with no true productivity. Constantly pointing the finger and blaming instead of asking questions and understanding the why. HR leadership doesn’t care about people in any capacity and simply does not have the emotional intelligence to run a team of this size at a global org. Nobody is rewarded for hard work until it’s too late and they want to retain you. Constantly penny pinching and cutting down titles and comp. You get what you pay for. The answer to everything seems to be replacing people with AI but the AI doesn’t exist.
