Pros

Convenient downtown location. Nothing else!

Cons

- Very unprofessional body-shop style consulting firm from HR to management layers. Lying and back stabbing is common! - You will be assigned to work with the worst clients since Prodigy Labs is extremely cheap hence works with cheap clients too. - Bad reputation among the clients, being considered as an Indian cheap body shop sending low quality consultants. - You will be hired as a full-time consultant and as soon as your manager realizes that your project with the client is getting completed or cut for whatever reason, they will get rid of you easily and quickly - Do not trust anyone at this cheap consulting company even your own manager(s).

Prodigy Labs Response

Thank you for taking the time to this review. We are disappointed to hear about your experience. All of our Consultants are given a deep overview of the client and project they will be working for, which typically also includes an in-person interview with the client themselves. This helps us ensure all parties are comfortable with each other and the relationship has been created even prior to the start date. If the project which you agreed to join did not fit your preferences for any reason, we would have happily worked with you to find an alternative client, project, or role which you could join. We are also disappointed to hear about the behaviour which you say you experienced regarding lying and backstabbing. We can assure you that accusations such as these would not be taken lightly from Human Resources or Senior Management. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and violence, which is held strongly by all members within Prodigy and any reported instances of such behaviours are investigated immediately. We are transparent with our team. Unfortunately, given the current COVID-19 pandemic, some decisions are made by clients quickly, and information is received with short notice. If a project does get cancelled by a client, we share that information as soon as we can with those affected. If your project was completed with the client and we could not find another placement which fit your requirements and expertise, we will always strive to keep you top of list for any upcoming roles that fit your preferences. It is always our top priority to place all consultants onto another project, when their current project comes to completion. The majority of our staff and consultants are senior-level professionals with several years of experience within their fields, such as yourself. Our clients have entrusted us to provide them with expert level talent and we would love the opportunity to work with you again in the future to achieve this. The previous experience you had with Prodigy and/or certain members within Prodigy is unfortunate and we would appreciate the opportunity to update your opinion of us based on the true Prodigy experience.

Pros

- Very professional/technical team. The CEO and other partners are very deep into and up-to-date with the technical details of projects, and that makes it enjoyable to chat with and learn from them. - Large focus on value delivery, and taking advantage of all new tools and techniques that help and ensure the delivery of useful robust digital products. - The main office for Ventures team has a very start-up like atmosphere, wherein everyone is working on cutting-edge ideas and projects, making it a great pleasure for those with research passion/capabilities to work on research projects from time to time.

Cons

Nothing really, mainly because of the radical transparency practiced by all team members.

Pros

Prodigy has a lot of high end clients, so the work they provide is good work, If you don't work for a client, they also have their own innovation lab, which is doing some really cool things with new tech. They focus on hiring skilled people who take some pride in what they do. As such, I enjoy working with the other prodigy employees. Above all, they recognize talent when they see it. So if you work hard and you take pride in what you do, they really do appreciate it. They also have employees with their clients, so if anything does come up, you have a contact to help you out.

Cons

If you work for a client for a long time, you feel like an employee of that company. That's not really a bad thing, their clients are decent clients, but it would be nice to have more Prodigy interaction.
