Good for Freshers - Software Developer PointCross Life Sciences Employee Review

Pointcross is a highly innovative and disruptive company. The work is very challenging because we are out in front of everyone else and introducing solutions to problems most life sciences companies never realized they had. Whatever role you are in (marketing or business development, engineering, development or scientist) this company offers challenge for everyone. The management style is to allow people to think and problem solve. Every employee is heard. The management believes that exceptional thought and ideas can come from anyone and they encourage and challenge everyone to contribute intellectually. Employees work hard and are passionate about every task. There is a tremendous amount of pride and craftsmanship that goes into each and every task, however small or seemingly trivial. The CEO has extremely high expectations of everyone. However, everyone is very supportive. So even an average guy like me can be successful because I am surrounded by so much talent. I'm working on a number of different projects that are all very exciting and the people I am teamed with are a joy to work with. Everyone respects each other. I work with people at our offices in France and in Bangalore and we work together very well and are able to accomplish much. There are no egos or backstabbers in this company. Most employees are amazingly selfless and committed to the success of the company. People see themselves as part of something bigger and do not act like the company revolves around them.

Very difficult to hire people who fit the culture.

Flexible timing. - again it too is not good as you can decide what time you come tom office not at what time you leave.

Poor Planning work on Weekends and National holidays with a promise of comp off. PM and HR manager's will not approve leave's , they pretend as if we are asking for their one eye. CEO has all the control on each and everything, he interfear's every where. His is the last work, rest everyone including company GM are his chela's. No time for meeting, they even start a meeting at 9 PM on a Friday and ask everyone to come and work during weekend. you can plan a holiday. Food is provided there but its tasteless. Zero work-Life balance Use of abusive language in meetings. no respect to individuals (be it a boy or girl)
