Pros

Great company with interesting work and talented individuals. Excellent work-life balance and a family feel culture.

Cons

The culture is rapidly changing after an acquisition by Genpact in July, and not in a positive way. Despite promises by management that no one would be worse off financially after the acquisition that is looking less and less likely. Genpact is a large company that and their policies do not align with a highly skilled field like consulting.

Thanks for your feedback. The leadership of Barkawi and our parent Genpact remain committed to the net impact from the acquisition to be a positive one for all involved. The bigger vision and larger investment base will only enable our ability offer more interesting opportunities and accelerate careers. The fact that the core Barkawi leadership team is 100% committed and leading the day-to-day execution should give comfort to everyone that our principles (which are shared by Genpact) for the great work-life balance you reference will remain a hallmark of culture. Our only request is simple… to give us a chance to prove our commitment and ability to lead the team toward this vision.

Pros

Barkawi is a very professional and employee friendly company. I have the pleasure of working with some great minds in the Supply Chain industry for quite sometime now. These candidates are selected by a carefully devised interview process that evaluates the candidates for their knowledge, skills, professionalism and attitude. Soon after joining, I realized that I am working for a company that cares about their employees and listens to their feedback.

Cons

Depending on the project, you may travel more than you want to. But if you like to travel and keen on working closely with your clients, then I bet you would enjoy this job.

We're so glad you're having a good experience here. We truly care about our people and what they have to say, so I'm glad that comes across! If travel ever becomes an issue talk to your manager or someone in HR and we'll see what we can do. We want our people to have great work life integration!

Pros

Good connection to Kinaxis who feeds implementation work directly to Barkawi.

Cons

Run by "hot shot" VP's who manage by personality and whim.
