Pros

None. There is nothing to mention here. A useless place struggling to survive with poor technical folks all around. All good engineers leave immediately and people with zero technical acumen are being promoted discouraging average employees to work hard or improve on their skillset. No incentives there

Cons

Oh boy, where do I start. Let me try to put it in bullet points for people to understand. (1)The biggest challenge with Virtusa is that its management doesn’t care about its employees. As a Technical person stay away from this company. There is zero growth, no control over project allocation, you will be treated very poorly and consistently bullied by entry level RM employees who somehow are treated as Gods in this company (2) It doesnt matter which technology you belong to. Most of the RM team, managers do not understand anything about technology. You will be forced into projects without your skillset matching with the client requirements and once you fail they will make you responsible for everything (3) Virtusa used to be a Technical company and it was different from other service based firms as it used to focus on technology but now its a management mess with no focus on technology and technical people are treated as third grade citizen within the company (4) Management team has lost direction. It had to choose between rapid growth and quality. The management team chose growth over quality and it does not want to think about their client, technical teams, employee satisfaction etc. All they care about is people who are either bringing the business or maintaining the relationships with the client in whatever capacity (5) Too many non techincal managers managing technical people without having basic understanding of the technology used in the market. They work as eyes and ears of the management team and serve no purpose but to micromanage people. Their work is to fill the excel sheets, talk weird stuff during the meetings that makes no sense to anyone (6) Poor, inconsistent and ridiculous policies that are pushing people down and morale of all the teams is very low in this company (7) Projects are very short in length and no clarity on newer projects. People are just thrown like garbage all over the place and nobody cares about their life, commitments etc. The worst part is that many times RM team deliberately pushes people to go to the location to show the employees who is the boss. Many times employees had the projects in their choice of location but RM team forced them to leave and goto their specified location to work on an unrelated technology just to satisfy their ego. Nobody wants to listen because as I said this company is all about managers and technical folks are the last people they care about I think this company is way past its prime and it needs to do some introspection if it wants to remain in business. There is zero accountability in its management team starting from top to bottom and nobody wants to fix it. For technical people, please stay away from this company. You have been warned. There is no future for you within Virtusa. This company cant offer you anything.

Pros

Opportunity to work on large-scale enterprise projects. Exposure to modern technologies and diverse client environments.

Cons

Excessive micromanagement limits autonomy and creates a lack of trust. Workplace culture suffers from poor communication and limited collaboration. Employee feedback is often ignored, making it difficult to drive positive change. Career growth and recognition are inconsistent and heavily dependent on management. Work environment can be stressful, with employee well-being receiving little attention. Leadership within Connected Commerce is a major concern. The LOB lead's management style is often perceived as disrespectful, dismissive, and overly controlling. Employees may feel uncomfortable expressing opinions or raising concerns, leading to low morale and reduced engagement. Rather than fostering a culture of trust and empowerment, the leadership approach contributes to a negative and demotivating work environment.
