Pros

all the positive reviews that you see, are fake and given by their top management to lure new candidates to join Ciklum, It's like showing a sinking ship a luxury cruise liner. Your skills and aspirations deserve far better than what this company has to offer.

Cons

Firstly, the company is plagued by severe layoffs. It's a constant state of uncertainty where hard-working individuals are treated like disposable assets. Employees are left in constant fear of losing their jobs, resulting in a toxic work environment that kills any semblance of motivation or creativity. The HR department, if it can even be called that, is an absolute disgrace. They don't provide any genuine support to the employees. Instead, they are more like puppets of the atrocious management, lacking empathy and failing to address any concerns or grievances. Speaking of management, it's the epitome of poor leadership. They are detached, disconnected, and seem utterly clueless about how to steer the company in the right direction. Decision-making is haphazard, causing confusion among the ranks and further destabilizing an already sinking ship. Career growth? Forget about it. There's no such thing here. Employees are stuck in roles with no opportunities for advancement. The company doesn't invest in its workforce, leaving everyone stranded in a dead-end with no prospects for professional development. projects are outdated, mundane, and revolve around archaic technologies. Working here feels like being stuck in a time warp where innovation and progression are unheard of concepts. It's disheartening to see a supposed tech company wallowing in such backwardness.

Pros

Considering all my previous experiences, I would say that Ciklum is a very decent employer. Firstly, the vibe here is all about maturity and openness. It's like we're all part of this big, respectful team. Secondly, it is truly a global company where you cooperate with different people from around the globe. Still, Ciklum provides people with an opportunity to work remotely, making work life more flexible and agile. I guess some people may not grasp the strategic statements, since Ciklum is an outsourcing company. But if you want to listen and understand, then you will. I appreciate the openness when it comes to the strategy for this year. And it's really cool to see that the employer brings these statements to life – recently, Ciklum announced the acquisition in the USA to further grow in this market. And I think they really analyzed their clients’ experiences, started to sign some industry leaders' logos, and enhanced the transparency of delivery for clients through new digital tools. Some obvious stuff but still worth mentioning: Ciklum provides many opportunities for personal development, so if you want to boost your expertise, you will find ways to do so. Starting from certifications and managerial programs to participation in industrial events. Ciklum values proactive talents, so if you are ready to share your knowledge with the world, you can be sure that they will find opportunities for you and help make your presentation at a decent level. But I guess the most important thing for me is Ciklum’s culture and people overall: they are friendly, open-minded, and full of energy to do great things. It’s really important to feel this spirit.
