Pros
- Company shows interest towards bringing in new ideas - Most projects are in leading and upcoming technologies - Flexible work culture allowing people to maintain work-life balance. - Identified Core values (Innovation, Integrity, Teamwork & Openness) aligned with the vision of the company.- Salaries at par with most 'services' companies.
Cons
- Poor hiring strategy, Quality of resources low, which is not aligned with company's vision of an R&D firm. - Insufficient 'focus' towards employee development activities. Although more trainings are being organized, but still the training plans are adhoc and not adequately targeted by HR group. - 'Product' focus missing in most new hires. - Process Engineering group not at par & lacks 'practical' insight in many areas. - Core values not practiced effectively with the company. ** 'Openness' slowly drifting away as management finds it hard to discuss tough subjects. ** 'Innovation' is where there is a lot of 'talk' but very less initiative from senior management. ** 'Integrity' is demonstrated in many places, but decrease in openness covers-up instances where its dropped. ** 'Teamwork' is something that requires investments in terms of team building activities. Although team-members may be having a lot of dinner/lunch meetings, but 'organized' team-building off site events rarely happen.
