Pros

1. Free Quality Food 2. Occasional gifts 3. Games facilities at campus

Cons

1. No direction at all be it any levels starting from Founder to the last level of Manager 2. Zero Project management skills at all levels, PMs just make unrealistic project plans and revise it every other day with no clear idea of either objective, resources, time to complete or end result. 3. No set procedures and policies for any process , be it HR recruitment, IT, Project allocation, Project delivery, Travel . Everything is done at firefighting mode every time 4. Old timers/ Founder's friends/ compatriots are given importance for everything starting from promotions, movement into leadership, client site travels, choosing projects so on and so forth 5. Fractal is at best a window dressed dashboard/ visualization company trying hard to sell itself as an AI company 6. Projects are of very menial in nature mostly around visualization/ dash boarding/ data engineering

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
