Pros

There are certain client projects which are really good and has a good amount of scope to learn.

Cons

The problem is with this company is immense. Here are the few cons due to which I feel joining Brillio was one of the big mistakes I did in my career. 1. Hiring and Offer: Being Project Manager I went through around 7 rounds of interview. HR did not even felt like doing salary negotiation instead sent me an offer which was quite less. When I declined they called me up for a discussion and finally, I got the letter. When I got the offer the CTC had a component called Variable pay. On my joining day, I received the hard copy of my offer letter and I realized the Variable pay amount has got increased a lot while the CTC stands the same. When I asked, I got an answer saying you are a good performer you will get the entire variable pay don't worry and sorry we had a system issue. This is an example of being unethical & fooling good people to get into the company. 2. Role: Brillio top management expects you to work as an Architect, Engineering Manager, Program Manager, Project Manager, Scrum Master, and maybe someday as a developer too even if they hire you as Project Manager. That says everything about their thought process. 3. Project & timeline: We have certain client partners or directors since ages in this company who are not capable of estimating the product development, but unfortunately, they are the one who goes and sets unrealistic expectations on the client after that grills the internal team to deliver and match that timeline. Even though a lot of people complained and left nobody took any actions against it. 4. Project Accountability: Brillio management holds the Project Manager accountable for project delivery. But at the same time, Project Managers are not enabled to take any decision instead there are many client partners or directors who will keep poking you again and again due to which you won't be able to work with mental peace. Managers and Client Partners from the USA are very rude and dominating in nature. 5. Top Leadership: Unfortunately, the top leadership team is terribly bad in setting the expectation to the people who are below them on what role they should play. They are equally bad on treating managers with respect unless you are with the organization for a long long time. When things go south due to their unrealistic commitments, they are pretty smart to put the blame on the folks who are new to the company. Also to get their work done they are very smart to make false promises and end of the year nothing happens. 6. Politics: Every company has politics somewhere the other but in Brillio the bar is very high. If you are someone who is passionate about your work and people this is not the place for you. 7. Internal Movements: Developers face this problem in this company, they don't care what is your expertise or skills. If you are on the bench or just joined, they will put you to anything just to fill in the place due to which attrition rate of this company is on the higher side. 8. Respect: If you are a Project Manager in Brillio, trust me you don't have any respect from the leadership team. Neither you are enabled to take any decision and always dependent on your supervisor even though you are a manager. 9. Hire/Fire: The motto of this company is Hire then Fire. The problem here they should fire many of the people who are sitting there for ages which they don't do instead their politics takes on to the new folks.

Pros

Good medical coverage for employee

Cons

Truly you will find the point hair boss here, lot of management from other services company building their empires. Every one is doing the same job but bossing over with their fancy designations, client walk out every day because they over promise and poor engineers have to work 12 + hours and even on weekends, we managers have to make them because we cant delvier the project and forget whether person knows the tech stack or no. Leaves application is also a problem and lot times i had to ask person to cancel leave and best part those leaves have to be exhausted end of the year, hence lot of attrition and onsite counterparts behave as those they know everything but just spending time in meetings and yelling. It is a culture of blame game, we have to identify who to blame much early because we have lot of failed projects and firings. So if you are a politician then join here it is fun, programmer please stay away unless desperate else you will be slogging from day 1 and dont get fooled by the fancy designations. Also it is a 3 months notice period and they take 2 months to settle final amount.....the PF component is so low, you will get fooled thinking higher salary

Pros

The company has such great potential for its size, with talented practice leads and domain experts providing deep technology expertise and solutions across the wider digital transformation spectrum so vital to today’s market.

Cons

My recent experience at Brillio inspired me to write my first ever (and only) review here. The company has such great potential for its size, with talented practice leads and domain experts providing deep technology expertise and solutions across the wider digital transformation spectrum so vital to today’s market. Unfortunately, the company leadership continues to get in its own way and hamper any attempts by talented resources to grow/evolve the brand (and themselves). To be fully transparent and blunt, while the CEO has charisma and drive, he manages to overshadow his positive attributes by an unnecessary sense of dark ego and oftentimes demeaning and inappropriate behavior. Examples include ridiculing and insulting market/account leads in public during large meetings (perhaps out of personal insecurities?), creating uncomfortable and borderline offensive situations for employees during company events/outings, etc. The result of all this is two-fold. First, the executive team is a collection of agreeable and politically-driven “bobbleheads” who dare not question or challenge anything he says, no matter how irrational or detrimental to the company’s vision and goals. If they dare to do so, they don’t last long. Second, the turnover among the Markets/Sales leadership is incredible. The normal “life expectancy” of a sales or territory lead is typically 6-9 months (if that). If you make it through a year, you are a survivor! Furthermore, the culture’s mindset towards Markets/Sales is purely “rolodex” driven (i.e. who do you know and how quickly can you bring us in there, purely based on your personal relationships) and with an immediate contentious posture, as opposed to an offering/solutions driven sales strategy complemented by a collaborative internal culture focused on winning together. A number of established and talented sales professionals have come and gone in a matter of months – almost all of them coming in with an honest sense of purpose and desire to drive growth across the company’s digital transformation solution areas that look so good on paper, only to find out that ultimately it’s all about landing “bodies” (i.e. staff aug), which seems to be where most deals typically end up anyway (it’s part of the company’s DNA after all). In some cases, the separation is so unprofessional and badly managed by Brillio, that legal means have been employed by departed employees to just get paid what they are owed. Ironically, the same professionals that leave unceremoniously or are let go as a result of this “nobody is good enough” attitude and treatment, frequently end up in high-visibility positions at Brillio’s clients, prospects or strategic partners. What does leadership think these talented individuals will have to say about their experience at Brillio – and how will this affect the company’s brand and culture? Does no one there consider this (even within Bain Capital, who has a majority ownership stake)? If you are a markets/sales leader considering joining this company, you have been warned – and take the majority of the “positive” reviews here by active employees (who have been bullied into writing them) with a grain of salt. The truth is out there for everyone to see, so feel free to ask around.
