Pros

Good culture. Good co-workers. Average or below average salary but ok if you dont expect.

Cons

Low pay. India management still see old market and do not help to solve your issue especially salary. No transparency. Slow management when you ask anything especially employee favor. Surveys not anonymous, so still fear to convey. Many one on one happen for formality. All good employees gone. No appreciation or recognition for work. Instead of solving issue only fake promise given. Half hike give as bonus after 6 months for retaining employees but it is our money should pay before. But loss for employees only.

We have invested significantly to catch up our team in Chennai for salaries, and are now working to provide stronger benefits. We do see the need, and have made changes. We are committed to continuing to improve the employment experience and are compensating accordingly now, we were not in the past. The increase in salaries initially caught us by surprise. The surveys are anonymous, and leadership takes them very seriously and works to improve int he areas identified. It is difficult to read negative reviews about oneself, however it is also important to act on them. I think we do a good job improving with feedback. I think we are much better than we were a year ago, and will be much better again next year. Thank you for the review - Derek

Pros

nice office and some nice coworkers

Cons

I read the reviews about Chennai office and CEO responses. Reviewers are talking about current management. Even if you do tens of anonymous surveys, peoeple are still afraid to tell the truth. Racism is happenging in the office based on language and religion. Some employees are treated favorbly. Office environment is toxic. Have you noticed that the turn over in chennai in the last year tripled? isn't that enough clue for CEO to know why. we lost at least 10 great employees who are hard to replace. Again, your surveys are useless. everyone is afraid!

If there is any racism in any of our offices I would like to hear about it personally or better yet please report using our whistlebolower policy on our wiki. The complaint goes to a 3rd party firm, is entirely confidential, and then a full investigation is done. Racism in any of our offices is unacceptable, and we need to know more so we can take action. The surveys are anonymous and the recent survey of our manager in India did highlight some gap areas which our VP in Canada (who has just had confidential one on ones with the entire Chennai team) will be addressing. There is no need to be afraid in doing our surveys, your opinion matters, and our Chennai office is a key team in our company - Derek

Pros

good salaries and nice office

Cons

no one seem to talk about India. all best employees left becuase of the management team. Even new hires left the same day or after one day becuase of that..favors employees and is the reason ex-employees don't want to come back. All the new employees do not anything about the system. Current employees are afraid to say anything about it. In a recent survey, no one said anything becuase they are afraid of the management. no one is allowed to speak to anyone in Canada without mangement approval. Working here has been a disastaour and no one is willing to tell the trurth. We lost great talents because of that

Thank you for the note. I care a lot about our Chennai Technology Center, it curates and develops our core systems. We would like to grow our team to 45 staff. What you say is true, we talk about our Chennai team daily however we dont talk to our Chennai team. Part is the time difference, and part is the convenience of email, however getting to know the team is something we can do better. We have difficulty with getting feedback from our team and knowing if it is the past management (which was not good) or current management that is causing issues. We will be sending a new survey, anonymous, to get feedback from our team, please be as honest and open in the survey as you are in this response, it will help us. Please reach out to myself or Chandra if you want to have confidential discussions. - Thank you Derek
