Pegasystems Reviews

Pros

Excellent HR policies like Health/Life insurance Work life balance

Cons

Pega has a unique culture of "Reinvent the wheel" where every problem which was solved by the industry a decade back is being reinvented now. This is an unique organization where knowledge is with the people, not with the process or product or code(Rare to see in 21st century). The engineering organization is like set of independent kingdoms where no kingdom knows whats happening in other kingdom. End up building different solutions for same problem and messing up the things. You will realize that your features are broken at the end of the release cycle. The developer here will require additional skill called 'diplomacy' to move the issue from one backlog to other backlog. Over the time you will become expert in moving problems than solving them. Even if you have attitude of Solving problem instead of moving, the circumstances (Too many follow ups from so many people) will force you to change your attitude. if you are a developer who would love to blame others for your own problems, love to follow the management orders (Even they are sense less) then this the best organization. If you are a developer who wants to learn technology, passionate about building produces, want to make a good impact in the software then this is not the place.

Cons

There is no work life balance in Pega. Especially ladies, if you are a super woman, this place is for you. Otherwise, better dont join Pega. They have a performance system where they will compare you with anybody in Pega. Infact anyone in the world! An instance why this is crazy - For ex, you are a married lady employee who will have additional household responsibilty (or may be you are going through a bad time in your personal life) , and then there is a male employee in your team. You may work hard and finish your deliverables or more in the stipulated office hours. But this guy works day and night everyday and delivers more. And now, you are compared with him! BASELESS COMPARISON !! Its obvious if someone works for a longer time can deliver more. And this will cost your job, you are fired as your performance is less than him! Obviously every employee stretches when required, but stretching everyday may not be possible for all, and worst thing is the comparison this way. Comparison parameters should be fair, not these kind of unrealistic comparisons! When it comes to bonus pay also, you might have worked hard all the year, may be against some of your personal challenges and delivered all your commitments and more, but they have no respect for all the honest hard work that you have done. At the end of the year, they give you reduced pay out citing bad performace. No respect! They wil tag you as struggling talent. Because you are a struggling talent, your bonus pay could be very very less. All the hard work you did for an year is into the drains! Some people who would have worked the same ( who too have completed their deliverables) or less and may walk with 100 percent pay out. This is just because they slipped the low performance tag, they might be manager's favorite. Management is not honest and transparent, play politics. Great place to work, Women friendly company are fancy words - if you are lucky, you will survive. Otherwise you will struggle. Specifically, CRM is "The Worst Place to Be".

Pros

You have all the benefits here except GYM in Bangalore location. It is a good place to work, however watchout for all the Managers who just want to pick your negative side and build on it. Trust no HR, Trust no managers DO NOT SHARE any personall things with them. Becarefull if you are lady employee......

Cons

Please avoid involving HR, to resolve the issue, they blow the matter even more bigger in size. Take care of your learning and they will not let you go. Be an asset orelse, door is always opened for you to get kicked out.
