Pros

Nothing really improved in Netcracker's culture since past 5 years. If an honest retrospective is to be drawn, there will be more negative than once could think off. It had had the very strategic and tactical positioning since 2018-2019, considering huge pipeline for cloud native journey that was taking off for telecommunication landscape. In lieu with migration of legacy BSS/OSS to cloud, automation, data analytics and utilization of comprehensive machine learning model that was a golden opportunity. Unfortunately the train was missed or due to lack of anticipation, thought process this organization is appearing now a very mediocre, amateur product organization. It’s hard to see such downfall. It’s sad to believe even.

Cons

Concerning points 1. The current leadership does not have the ability to think in a futuristic way. There are only (only 2~3 max) people who could possibly think well ahead of time – what as a product line we should do, how we should solve (& monetize) our customer’s problem, how we could grow our own lieutenants by unleashing their true potential and enabling them in/with new technology platform. Nothing implicitly or explicitly expressed so far from those community. 2. Not so efficient director and senior managers – most of them are non-technical. Not a single attribute can be vouched for in them like: Technology and/or BSS /OSS Domain/Business analysis and/or, process, where they can truly contribute to delivery, or enable the team. They only know how to forward a thread by looping others (sometime that also found to be wrong). It’s unbelievable that how a product company with such tremendous legacy (enriched product line, RBM) could have afforded this? Or sometimes it appears to be deliberate to finish the enterprise? 3. The most unfortunate symptom that this organization is carrying even after 12 years of buying Convergys in 2012-13. This is with respect to “holding critical decision” by CIS/Russian community. It HAS been proven every time that decision making responsibility, ability to leading a higher position is not something ever be extended to Indian Community or to be more precise it will never be extended to those who were acquired from Convergys in 2012-13, regardless of their deep product knowledge, sharp technical prowess, uncompromising delivery contribution, effective client liaison (someone has to remember that without any CIS presence 100’s of implementations went from conceptualization – to – Cut-over at ease). It’s finally the TRUST factor and a sense of RESPECT that Indian community never got since the acquisition of Convergys by Netcracker or even for the others who were not part of old Convergys as well. 4. Fostering a very TOXIC ambiance by encouraging many un-professional actions (you name it and it exists fortunately): wrong promotions to few folks (while there were more deserving candidates) consistently, recruiting regularly in-efficient candidates (even knowingly they would be a complete miss-fit the fathom of complexity for which the recruitment is being done) and safe-guarding again them despite not able to lead a phase or project or both, deliberately keeping the experienced members sidelined & highlighting few stream of people who can always say “YES”, sticking always to some pathetic framework and not able to come out from that “emotion”, Overlooking the faults to fellow CIS despite several unbelieving miss from their leadership and then to finally reaching out to non-CIS person (who was never given free hand, authority, support) to help rescuing from the complex situation.

Pros

You get decent exposure to the world of software engineering. You will get to learn a lot if you get a project. Emphasis on the "if".

Cons

Employee perks were removed slowly and that includes basics like tea, coffee and office cab. Lack of projects and very poor management. Russians dominate the work environment and proper opportunity is not given, Employee performance reviews are not shared and discussed by the manager and they just blindly ask us to improve without telling us what was on the review, Reviews are given by Russians and no matter how well you do, you get an avg review. If you get a good russian manager then your career is safe there. They fire you without warning or reason. They pump and dump employees based on demand.

Pros

Up until 2020 , the company was good, perks, work from home, hike was given, since 2022 there is no hike, no projects full of politics..

Cons

No pros to mention as such, as manager keeps on nagging to allocate projects or to give increments.

Pros

Finally, a new modern tech stack. Ability to grow vertically (from engineer to manager). Some on-site work is still available (working trips). Dependency on a project, your experience will vary from project to project (cons as well).

Cons

Old monolith (not applied to new solution on microservices) is based on everything that is written inside the company, you will barely learn something that is required on the market. There is a product, which means that if you are not in a product team (most of the employees) you will not create new services, you will adjust, customize, extend. Dependency on a project, your experience will vary from project to project (pros as well).

Pros

Only at the time of joining people may get good initial package and false promises of quarterly hike . May get good feeling as they discuss dev customization api all good terms during interview but in real work is absolutely rubbish .

Cons

1.>Only few people who are just bootlicking there managers so called LM's are manage to sustain their job as skilled people don't stay because most of the people are lacking technical so that's only option. 2.>No hike , they will push you to work 12-13 hours and at the time of hike will say that they are in loss wow nice trick , there loss never recovered and it will never as they are running this ship with bootlickers i.e. lacking technical 3.>Very few projects they have after hiring they will ask you to give another interview ok not a problem but they are so stupid that they tag a backend dev in frontend project and ask them to appear interview really they are so confused. 4.>Clients don't trust them already lost two clients since i was there. 5.>Indian employees are on least priority they didn't gave hike since 3 years , they micromanage all work and all at the time of hike they just kick people out saying project work almost shrinked so resign else will fire. 6.>Few employees think this is their dad's company literally don't do anything just log unnecessary hours and do lot of zoom meeting and think they are champ.
