Pros

- We have a great CEO who is available in every week's townhall. Answers all your queries and shares necessary updates. - Employee benefits, goodies, joining gifts and hamper and perks are amazing. Loks premium. - Need not carry your breakfast or lunch box, as they provide very good food. - Office and ambience is great.

Cons

- With all the pros, you must have a good colleagues and manager to work with. Particularly in HC team. You will know the real premium once you join. - Without knowing what is your capability, they hire you for some designation and job that you are not sure about. - Worst culture and ingnorant people who will never come to help you. - When you join Fractal, you must already know to work like a pro, as if you are there since 15 years. Otherwise you are lost. - Manager will allow your co-worker in the same designation to handle you. If possible your performance appraisals also LOL. Coz the manager is always busy for no reasons. Manager position starts from lead manager and senior manager position is like senior associate. - Manager will never even know from which background or which place you come from. - Designation sounds so fancy that you will be a Senior Manager doing things what an associate does. So never come with that expectation. - If you ask a question, first thing is they laugh at you and then never answer. Which means you have to know it by yourself (beg borrow steal). - Your qualifications will be graduate in B' Com and you will asked to play a role of Developer. And there they test your performance. - To get an appointment and fix a meeting with higher management to take decisions is like getting interview appointment with Bollywood stars. Don't know why they sit in position of decission making when they don't have half an hour to attend a meeting. On top of this they have an assistant to check their calendar and let us know the availability. - Great organisation with poor culture and no value for people. - You join there and will loose all your confidence. - Jumbling with too many projects and not sure whom to give what. Never be surprised if you see the front desk or securites taking care of your payroll. Any work to be done without any guidance/ support/ training from anyone. Coz aaaaaaaallllllll are busy.

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
