Pros

Life balance - no work or little useless work. Best place for women - not for work but to take care of all other aspects in life. UK trip - they get people in chennai by promising them a trip to UK. U can be there for 2 months with little or no work. They will hike salary jus to get headcount so good for people with low pay and u know urself ur not talented enough. Find ur future here ;) Also good for women who have kids, going to get married and have other commitments..

Cons

Where to begin - so called product company but run by people with experience in service. Follow service company mindset..Managers lack knowledge of agile except 1. But he's also overruled by others. Entire managers puppets to the bullies in UK. There is no work but they pt fake pressure. No clarity in work. Most outdated technology and software. Software looks like windows 97. No plans to improve it. All fancy talk no work When you come they ask u to challenge UK but no support.. they will act as if u are stupid to question things..No manager knows anything..Namesake managers who show off..Except 1...Each mail will pass to associate level to get reply.. If UK people visit..Level of showing off is too good..No agenda or productive discussions though..Or highlighting problems and suggesting alternates..All is well and they project this to loot more money...They will arrange lots of cultural activities jus imagine :) Poor software development practices. Each team does wat UK bullies Tel. They suddenly release.. suddenly postpone..Suddenly shout for delay..I don't know how they are iso certified .. but cycle continues...Company functions..U get money.. They send u to UK for no reason. U have to go stay at houses in worse conditions leaked roofs and cno heating. U are there in a business trip with no work or little work I.e same as u do here..so they ask u to clean floors and stuff instead..It is expected and if u don't do it..tht is also ok..Cos only next person will suffer...Company doesn't care.. It's not even a hotel or service apartment.. and basic amenities aren't provided..People get fooled cos for some its the first "onsite" trip.. India wants to show numbers so they hire anyone and everyone who gets attracted by trip to UK promise.

Pros

If you're a senior level employee want to settle in a company with less work and more pay this is the right option for you. One good thing is you'll learn a great coding standards which is already done by UK guys and you'll share your seat with some genius people who're working from the company starting, they've great knowledge over product and they'll help you a lot. You'll get free snacks and some refreshing events every month end, some other benefits and good perks. You'll get some fun(the way how they're doing show-off is awesome) when UK folks visits India.

Cons

Where to start!!! Let me start with the technology. It's old one. Heard that now they gonna change into new technology but you're not going to work on it since entire development is by UK folks(good decision by management). You'll get all the same benefits as if UK people get, but this lame service mindset guys(Chennai) won't allow you to utilise it. If you come to manager, they'll always try to please DH and IOH. One guy always forward emails to DH, I think he is good at forwarding the emails(not even typing). One guy is irresponsible. They'll always save themselves and throws everything on their teammates. I think old managers are unmatchable to these guys. If you come to HR's, they don't interact with employees.,everything is dependent on managers. I don't know what's the use of HR's. For on-site you need to beg managers if not they'll send others.

Thank you for taking the time to add a review to Glassdoor. I have made relevant people aware of your thoughts, particularly around the technology. I have shared with our CTO, who is due to visit the India office week after next. He feels ( and I agree) that some of the points you make are very much being addressed, but I appreciate that, for you, this may not have been quick enough. I have taken on board your comments about HR. I am doing final interviews for a HR Manager in the Chennai office next week when I visit and I will try to ensure a greater level of day to day interaction going forward. I wish you the very best in your career Jacqui Summons, EMIS Group HR Director

Pros

1. Some skilled employees 2. Good that slowly UK team is getting in Indian management

Cons

The EMIS Health India is already a sinking ship and the Indian management has damaged it more with the recent retention bonus which is an indirect layoff. The bonus was not given to some of the high performing automation testers and developers but was given to people who are in the good books of the top management. This management has openly given the statement that they want people without bonus to leave. This has made the situation more tense than before especially in this pandemic situation and is affecting some of the employees emotional safety.

Hi - I really appreciate you taking the time to feedback on your experiences at EMIS. We may not always get it right and understanding where we may have work to do is very important to me. There are a number of points you raise that I would like to discuss with you. I am particularly proud of our work to ensure we are an equal opportunities employer at EMIS. I am concerned you feel we are not acting in this way and would like to discuss this with you. If you would like to reach out directly to me we can find a good time to talk.
