Providence reviews

Multiple cons 1. Most of the leadership team is bad at people management and leadership(irony). They are only good at satiating upper management. I have had multiple bad experiences with my reporting manager who gave no clarity on scope of role or scope of work for team. Besides, my morale kept going down despite putting enormous efforts and achieving recognition from upper management - primarily because my reporting manager took my mental health for granted and kept loading me with more work. My manager's lack of planning used to turn into urgency for me and forced to put in unreasonable efforts in the last moment 2. Culture is shabby now. Although the company takes pride in Providence US's values and culture, they adopt it only on paper. On the ground it is turning into a proper Indian "Lala company" where anyone not in good books of upper management will have tough time. The organization priorities keep changing because of this kind of culture. 3. Some members of leadership team are really bad at corporate ethics. In one of the organization wide meeting the AVP openly voiced her intent to take back job offer rolled out to a candidate, since they saw the candidate post about looking for better opportunities. I think till date she doesn't understand why is it unprofessional to take back an offer rolled out to the candidate. 4. Lot of unreasonable exceptions made in work from office policy (not even based on medical reasons). Some of them work from Mumbai and Bangalore just because they are close to the upper management. This kind of lack of parity demoralizes people who are already forced to come to office everyday. 5. On business lines: the company is pivoting to a services model and planning to operate in a niche space (IT services for hospitals). They plan to build products but are in no way ready to take it to competitive market. Overall the PnL success is highly questionable, although they might keep getting investments from the CIO
