Pros

Building was very nice. It was nice to go to the lobby and enjoy the amenities because the office space itself was depressing and the furniture was tacky. Not much to say. Some of the people were nice to work with. The lower management only.

Cons

The turnover was high. The only plus was Mr. Donohoe. What a joy to work with him and learn. The clients were very nice but the owner of the company will never let you work freely with a client. The owner has to CONTROL every aspect of your job. There was always food in the kitchen. Never felt at ease when I took my vacation because you had to pay for it upon your return. You would be bombarded with emails constantly and texts. There is no work life balance even though they say they are working on it. I see a lot of job openings, you will get burned out very quickly at this company. I moved on to work at a company that I can share my own ideas and my boss welcomes this feedback and even gives me credit for it instead of holding me down as I felt working at Purohit. I even asked the owner if I can join and organization and I was always turned down. The owner's comment was, let's wait and see, well it never came to be....and that told me a lot. Not many raises were given and if you did get a raise it was very little. Micromanagement of my day was exhausting. I see many reviews here and the same theme runs true. So I know it wasn't just me. The production department wasn't fully staffed and I have not seen so many errors in this area. And the filing system was such a ball of confusion. Doing your timesheets was a chore in itself. I am not disgruntled at all and some of the reviews say that only disgruntled employees are writing negative reviews; but I only realized my potential and it was not at this company. You will not grow at this company because they hold you back in so many ways. Your personal life will become nonexistent! Upper management does not communicate well. There is a member of upper management who constantly is involved in every aspect of your job. Let the staff who has experience in this area do their job freely and if they constantly make mistakes or need extra training, that is when you should micromanage them. Not if they are capable and have a lot of experience behind them. The owner of the company IMHO is a control freak and a narcissist to the highest level. As I said, a leopard doesn't change it's spots and the owner will never change either. But only you can decide if this is a culture you want to work in. The mission statement does not match what actually takes place.

Pros

I’ve been at Purohit Navigation for 10 years, and over that time, I’ve seen plenty of change, most of it for the better. The firm has evolved into a place that values transparency, collaboration, and a true no-ego culture. With the teams running small, it allows for everyone have a voice and the opportunity to make a real impact. There’s a strong sense of support (people genuinely have each other’s backs) and it creates a tight-knit, get-it-done environment that’s both flexible and empowering. Trust in our ability to do our jobs is clear across the organization, and the flexibility to work remotely (an increasingly rare perk) makes it even stronger. Leadership is a major strength. Our CEO is deeply committed to listening and responding to her team, bringing a level of thoughtfulness and clarity that’s rare. You feel heard, respected, and challenged in the right ways. That mindset carries through the entire team, creating an environment where people genuinely care about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the work. Another meaningful shift over time has been around workload and balance. With better support and a thoughtful reworking of our processes, the amount of overtime has significantly decreased. What used to feel constant is now more occasional and manageable. It’s made a real difference in creating a healthier, more sustainable work-life balance.

Cons

As with many smaller teams, you’re often wearing multiple hats, which can be a stretch at times. The pace can also be fast, so it helps to be adaptable and comfortable with change.

Thank you! You've captured something we highly value. You put into words what we hope everyone feels walking in our door - a culture built on trust, transparency, and genuine care for one another. Hearing that people feel empowered and supported in their work is exactly what we strive for and it's a reflection of the remarkable team we've built together. We're also proud of the progress we've made around workload and sustainability. Creating an environment where people can do their best work while blending the rest of their life is a real priority, and we're glad those efforts are making a meaningful difference. Your point about pace and wearing multiple hats is fair and well-taken. Smaller teams move fast, and that can be a stretch. We remain committed to thoughtful growth that keeps the agility that make us who we are, while continuing to build the support and structure our team deserves.

Pros

The company offers strong opportunities to grow, take on new challenges, and build experience over time. The work is varied across projects and clients, which keeps it engaging and provides broad exposure. The team is friendly, hard-working, and collaborative, and there is also a real benefit to working alongside people with deep experience who are very good at what they do.

Cons

The pace can be demanding at times, particularly during project crunches that require long hours and multiple rounds of iteration. That said, this tends to come with the nature of client service work and a shared commitment to delivering strong work.
