Pros

Has wonderful and talented people, nice infrastructure, cafeteria and cab service

Cons

The top level management is unable to resist the temptation of getting into politics and making sure that people, who can deliver extraordinarily well are continuously dealing with these situations leading to a fun factor of ZERO, a screwed up work life balance and total distrust on management (both Jaipur and US). The US management had even sought inputs (presumably) from the Jaipur Management, but either the jaipur managers did not provide the true picture or if they did the US management turned a deaf ear (or were made to believe that everything is great and this is just some noise by some individuals and nothing more). There are too many management teams.. JST, JLT, JMT.. still we do not have clear policies on promotions, increments and even giving COLA is controversial too (can't believe why giving just a 6% increase in India is such a difficult decision) People leave giving a feedback but those too are considered as noise elements and ignored. Lastly, this is treated as a cost centre. Career growth is limited, with US dictating terms and Jaipur is expected to be just following them.

Dear Appirian, Thanks for taking time out in sharing your feedback and highlighting areas where you feel we can do better & Huge Thanks for rating us “Great Company”. I would kindly ask you to please reach out to me, your manager or any of our global leader with your specific concerns which has led you to perceive that Jaipur Management is operating with highest degree of professionalism, integrity and transparency.

We strongly encourage our employees to maintain their Work/Life balance respectively, however since we operate under global delivery model across multiple time zones so it's really your responsibility to set/manage expectation with your peers and/or project team, in case you need help/coaching here please discuss it with your immediate supervisor.
