Salary on time — before the month ends.

Severe micromanagement across teams HR does not listen to employee concerns ATP manager is very rude; her colleagues behave similarly Many managers lack knowledge of current technology stacks High level of politics at the managerial level Country head also engages in office politics No genuine care for employees Upskilling requires payment from your own pocket first, then reimbursement (no proactive learning support) Most managers are not proactive Office politics is the key to survival, not performance

Pros

Some genuinely strong talent across parts of the organization, particularly at the delivery and individual contributor level. Entrepreneurial energy exists in pockets of the business, especially within acquired teams.

Cons

Lack of decisive leadership at the top, an underpowered board with limited global technology experience, and a culture that too often favors proximity to leadership over measurable performance. The private equity sponsor brings deep experience from non-technology sectors, but little track record in scaling complex, global IT services businesses—visible in weak governance, strategic drift, and inconsistent execution. The departure of many founders, including the original founder stepping away entirely, has coincided with a rapid loss of ownership mindset, long-term continuity, and the entrepreneurial drive that originally differentiated the firm.
