Fractal Employee Reviews about "work from home"

Pros

work from home, good pay, chill life

Cons

stressful, bad management, long working hours

Pros

Work from home Food Transport Paid leave Management Insurance, Health & Wellness. Health Care & Insurance

Cons

Work quality - Although Fractal brags itself as a leading AI/ML firm, there might only be less than 10% employees who have gotten an opportunity to work on data science related projects during their tenure. The quality of work (at least for junior level folks) is quite repetitive and you will get very little to learn in early days. Fractal acquires great products and seldom builds any, so most of the job is consultancy related which involves report making and data management kind of stuff. (yes there are some projects related to product building for clients but they come once or twice an year from every client).

Pros

Flexible Timings Best Managers Always Work from Home

Cons

Client Centric and Less Hikes

Pros

Awesome open culture. Free medical insurance. Work from home. Flexible leaves. Lot of learning opportunities.

Cons

I have just started so will see how it goes.

Pros

Free food, Work from home policy, good environment, cafeteria, learning opportunities are good.

Cons

There is nothing cons. All are good. Employees are satisfied

Pros

- Great mission and vision from the founders. - Highly inspirational and motivational leadership quality shown by two remaining founders of the company. - Although very low in volume, but some projects are excellent in nature for folks to work on pure analytics, data science and data engineering fields. - Extremely flexible work environment, where the company always puts trust on its employees - flexible work timing, uncounted leaves, work from home facilities, etc. - Some of the people (read very very few) in the higher management are pure gold, having just sufficient knowledge of cutting edge technologies, basic concepts of math and statistics, etc. This surely helps those freshers a lot. - Client-based projects with a significant portion of focus going into serving clients at the highest level. This provides a great opportunity to showcase talents and skills. - Great onsite opportunities for even junior folks.

Cons

- Terrible middle management. Basically great power is given to some irresponsible and under-qualified people in this company which nowadays is creating enough nuisance for superb talents to quit within very short period of time (not more than 2 years). - Over time both the founders have started to believe in few heads of the company who are literally ruining the opportunity to achieve their goal, purely by practising unnecessary and unethical concepts like favouritism (maybe nepotism a bit) and lying. - ~85% of projects in this company are pure reporting in nature with little to no scope for any ML or AI tools / techniques to apply. In a highly client-focused company policy, even if there is scope, nobody will bother to convince clients to step up and do something good, as long as steady revenue flow is ensured. - Currently, there is no opportunity for anyone within the company to share his/her point-of-view on anything or share some brilliant idea on innovations without jeopardising his/her own career growth. Believe me, if you want to present some cool idea on how to do the job better in this company now, you first get proofs from the client in written that it was your idea, otherwise your manager is just looking forward to screwing you over. - Somehow both the founders of the company have lost their interests in this company (they have their own side ventures to take care of now!). This has created a black hole within the company which indeed is creating chances for some undeserving people to move up and become (horrible) "decision makers". - The Award System in this company is a pure joke. One day you might get awarded as FractElite (which is extremely proud thing to achieve) and the next day you might get fired because you questioned a "decision maker". - In recent years, a very high percentage of tenured people (employees with 5 years or more experience) have left the company because of lack of respects and growth. A significant portion of these employees were very high achievers at Fractal, but failed to tolerate wrong-doings of those "few" people with great power.

Pros

Flexible work culture, Work from home option is there, friendly team, food at work, good infrastructure for working remotely

Cons

Some of the core values aren't practiced by everyone even in the top management. You may have to pretend to be someone you're not at work. Favouritism is sometimes there among managers and not all managers are people friendly.

Pros

1. Very engaging team 2. Friendly environment 3. Good compensation as per market standards 4. Intelligent working minds 5. Nice blend of projects and technologies 6. Flexible timings and unlimited work from home

Cons

1. Onsite opportunity may take some time to come

Pros

Fractal offers cordial work environment, Competitive salary, Health insurance plans, abundant work from home, employee friendly policies. Fractal handled Covid 19 impacts effectively.

Cons

Abrupt decision making: Company decided to provide an increment mid year stating that it is for year 2021, hence with clear indications on no increments coming in next year. It is difficult to understand the rationale when Company's performance is strong and the increment could be provided for FY 2020 itself.

Pros

Employee friendly environment and policies Work from home Approachable management Flexibility

Cons

Really a good company to work with. Nothing I can see.
