Pros

Very unique product and good for growth any level (But have to be very knowledge too handle adamant people in the company) Work From Home option (will screw your life asking to work in weekends and have beg for comp-off later) On-site opportunities (But for short duration of 1 to 2 weeks 80%, 3 to 4 weeks 15% and 5% above that 4weeks) Flexible work hours (But have to work for long hours that's the reason flexible work hours)

Cons

<Summary> Worst politics and irrational people at all levels and many disgusting managers, long work hours, will screw health, selfish people can go to any extent to torch-er, rules and regulations will not apply for all and will be very loose to others lead & boss close actors or special characters or chapters (chamchagiri) people. <Summary> - Fast paced, lots of change, constant improvement, no proper co-ordinations between teams due to politics - Some managers are there since long time, they think everything has to be completed in same day no matter whether the task was handed over during the end of day... that has to be completed immediate - you have to be patient if assigned to client. - Very demanding environment. - Unnecessary involvement of resources in meetings and lengthy meeting to screw resources time). - Tough environment for Freshers not good for them as it will not help them outside if they think to move out. - all kinds of antiq people can be seen here at one place with disgusting attitude, with in-human approach by showing there superiority. - How hard you support they will stab you in back due to high politics. - Frequently have to work for weekends and to avail the comp-off people have to beg, if given they will traget people later has the projects are of short duration and can't avail with in month. - no respect for people below lead level and no recognition for the effort as they think resource hours are cheap and have no value for contribution. There are many people working sincerely at desk and in-reversely as well, many itchy tongue people keeps disturbing other people with no proper ethics and people work long hours by waisting time with frequent break for smoking 4-5 times for min 15mins to 45mins max times a day and do politics on the floor. - There are many people who do or say things by really doing them, i mean doing and pretend to do kind of attitude. - Already market got exhausted for the product. - 60% of projects are for short duration only and will touch-er resources to complete the project with rapid speed.

Pros

- A visionary executive team that has a long-term view for the company - Best of breed product - Gartner recognized and appreciated by industry (especially clients) - Great support ecosystem - from a sales guy's point of view the support given by legal, finance and operations is tremendous - After a little turbulence (which is natural after a shakeup), the company has stabilized and there is a sense of purpose. Probably also explains some of the negative reviews :) - Healthy pipeline - as a sales guy am spending more time qualifying deals and figuring out which ones to pursue, rather than having to generate them - Processes are not burdensome - I have seen companies where process becomes a huge overhead. So far I have derived value from the lean processes followed in sales

Cons

- Product portfolio is rapidly changing - need to keep up with changes - Competitors are large and have deep pockets. That renders some deals 'un-win-able' as competitors bundle up SCM products with ERP products and offer deep discounts

Pros

The company has a history of innovation that rewards people willing to do what it takes to create market breakthroughs. Already recognized by Gartner as a leader in Sales & Operations Planning, the company launched its next-generation planning platform in October 2015, powered by the same Silicon Valley technologies that underlie high performance platforms such as Google, LinkedIn and Facebook, to turbo charge planning speed and scale. While the company is putting processes and people in place to manage its transition from an "S&OP only" company to a company driving broad planning innovation, management is inclusive in involving people at all levels of the organization in this transformation. This is a place for people who want to immerse themselves in a meaningful endeavor, not a place for people who just want a "steady job."

Cons

Some employees holding on to "the way we used to do things" can create negative vibes. New talent coming in can rally support, but there is the need to address those resistant to evolving along with the company. The company solves strategically important problems for market-leading companies, so sales cycles can be long (although this is the case in many companies selling enterprise solutions.)

Your review is thoughtful and much appreciated. We are working diligently to think outside of the box in terms of process, so we can achieve greatness, transitioning away from the "the way we used to do things" mindset.
