Practo Technologies Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

Good incentive structure , good colleagues , dynamic senior management.

Cons

Fixed salary is low than the market standards

Pros

It is a very nice environment to work in the company.

Cons

Lots of Load and not great senior management.

Pros

Good Salary Salary comes on times

Cons

Managers are incapable of handling teams. They are just incompetent. Company do not value their employees and they can fire you anytime they want. They don't care to take feedback and suggestions from the field teams who is most close to end user. Even if the employee gives them suggestions to improve the respective market then they would be overlooked and avoided as they are quite rigid and wont look forward to try new things. I had my manager who would just sit in the office, watch TV series on his laptop and whenever we asked him to accompany us he would deny and ignore. The another manager which I had was so indulged in favoritism that could not see how others are doing and what help or guidance do they need. The manager would only favor the chamchas and rest should go to hell. The manager could not even take stand for the team when needed. Senior management needs to think from the ground sales point of view and should not make decision based only on their will.

Pros

No accountability of work at middle and senior management level Come and go as and when you please Salary credited on time Fancy HR benefits for taxation Good food options in HQ canteen

Cons

1. No long term vision 2. Founders and senior management are busy raking in money for retirement plans 3. Every new strategy has failed but the decision makers get bonuses paid for failures while whole teams gets fired overnight 4. Big talks and no work. Filled with leeches and free-riders 5. Very very cunning and petty company which stoops to the level of screwing employees who argue with them. 6. Company culture is scam customers and make money today as tomorrow we will not be there anyway to face it. 7. Hated by industry itself. Go to a doctor and say "I am from Practo" and only God save you. 8. Sales leaders are thugs and scamsters 9. Fraud is in their DNA and got fined 200cr by IT department for tax evasion and money laundering.

Pros

# Meritocratic culture initially, but was shifted to pseudo-meritocracy and hinged liberty. # Proper guidance and sales-support from the skip managers. # Commend-worthy learning curve. # Good Team. # Proper On-Job Training facilities available for the staff. # Senior Management is always available to help and assist. A definite plus for the freshers.

Cons

# Internal politics. # No more support from the newer skip managers. # Laziness to incentivize sales. # Improper Sales process logging. # Inability in paying heed to suggestions from the sales team have costed Practo a lot. # Extremely biased Performance Appraisal Drill.

Pros

Practo has this amazing talent pool. If you want to love your work, this is the place to be. Each member has lot of responsibilities to drive the product to its acme. Senior management is just a stone throw away. People are helpful and have strong moral values towards work. Amazing work place is also an added advantage.

Cons

Yes saturday working is a big time policy which is hurting Practo's by having high attrition rate. No free snacks! HR people are just for purpose of hiring new people. On boarding new tech member is still a challenge here.

Pros

So far so great! 1. Hectic but Lovable My stint at Practo so far has been amazing. It gets a little hectic but the work is so interesting and worthy that you would not feel tired, even for a second. The working Saturday (which has just recently been made as OFF day) has never been able to bother me, mostly because of the way more energetic set of peers and more importantly the non-melancholy nature of the job. 2. Mature management/wonderful peers: You would find most of the senior management (most of them in late 20s or early 30s), are way down to earth but at the same time equally aggressive and passionate. I have literally seen even disruptive ideas being welcomed. Coming to peers, I do not know how Practo finds these workalcoholic people who feel good about nightouts in the office. Almost every other night I see the VP engineering doing a night-out in the office. you see that and I think you automatically get an adrenalin boost, by seeing so much passion. Not even the top management but even most of the married peers of mine are equally passionate towards what they do and that automatically inspires you to give your best! 3. The perfect learning place: Most of my prior career has been at an MNC, wherein I used to get the free snacks and process-oriented work (mentioned as cons in some reviews), but hardly a few months at Practo , I feel to have learnt so much as I wouldnt have imagined even in years of my MNC stint.

Cons

So far nothing major. Working Saturdays could have been a pain for some (although trust me, an interesting work and culture makes it worth it), but it has been done away with recently. So I guess no other trivial pain-points for anyone. Sometimes I miss the Gym, garden etc facilities of my previous MNC company. About some other cons mentioned by other people such as no snacks, slow internet etc, please grow up!

Pros

1- Good Money 2- Amazing Incentive Structure 3- Challenging environment 4- Lot to learn for freshers and people early in their career 5- Very good basic product

Cons

1- Huge lack of direction and planning. The only excuse from management_ "We are the first to do it & no one knows whats the one thing that will work" 2- Too much politics even the company is small. Very few people control it & want to to be that way. Even if its detrimental for the company 3- Huge cash burn by individual managers as well as senior management 4- No clarity of what products to continue and to discard

Pros

- Product (Ray and Reach) is high quality - Great Learning opportunity - Good salary and incentive - Open culture - Approachable senior management

Cons

- Too many chop and changes - Practo doesn't care about people. You dun perform for 1 month/quarter and you are out of the company - Middle management is mostly incompetent - Doesn't care too much about customer

Pros

The the pay is above market level for Engineering graduates. Very good hands on experience in field sales Learn a lot about how a sales orqainsation runs

Cons

Since it is a fast growing start up, the people in the senior management also are looking to scale up their career as fast as possible and exert unnecessary pressure on employees. This affects the culture of the company.
