Bangalore

Former Employee – worked at Iron Mountain Inc full-time for less than a year

Pros> Good business model for global operations, and some strategic/lucky investments in the past 75 years have paid off well

Cons> Cheap place - these guys call you for an in-person interview to Bangalore, and don't even reimburse the ticket. Pathetic HR won't respond to mails

> They call an AVP/top-consulting, IIT and IIM grad with 13 years of industry-wide experience, and ask to be a project manager, 5 levels below the India IT head, who is a VP, and then when questioned on the move, in complete irony, ask what's the big deal in a designation. Then why create so many levels when you are interviewing to have someone report to the VP - yet another hierarchical officious organization fit for 40+ people to sit and twiddle thumbs

> Bad offshoring plans in India - most MNCs that setup shop in India seem to send their worst bureaucratic and ancient feudal-minded people, that believe we still in a colonial age and can get work done by cracking a whip

Advice to Senior ManagementThe change is already setting in - in a few years, you'd have learnt nothing, hardly valued the good employees, and brought in no fresh talent - and when Iron Mountain finally fires you, I hope you'll see the point, albeit too late

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Iron Mountain Inc

ProsAggressive Management in terms of taking new opportunity and challenge,
Iron Mountain employs almost 20,000 professionals,
Member of the Fortune 1000 (currently ranked: 643),
Assisting more than 140,000 organizations in 39 countries on five continents.

ConsIron Mountain not thinking anything rather than Record Management.

Advice to Senior ManagementI think we need to explore more into Indian market because I believe if your competitor dies in completion. Everything is fare in war and business.
