Pros

Has wonderful and talented people, nice infrastructure, cafeteria and cab service

Cons

The top level management is unable to resist the temptation of getting into politics and making sure that people, who can deliver extraordinarily well are continuously dealing with these situations leading to a fun factor of ZERO, a screwed up work life balance and total distrust on management (both Jaipur and US). The US management had even sought inputs (presumably) from the Jaipur Management, but either the jaipur managers did not provide the true picture or if they did the US management turned a deaf ear (or were made to believe that everything is great and this is just some noise by some individuals and nothing more). There are too many management teams.. JST, JLT, JMT.. still we do not have clear policies on promotions, increments and even giving COLA is controversial too (can't believe why giving just a 6% increase in India is such a difficult decision) People leave giving a feedback but those too are considered as noise elements and ignored. Lastly, this is treated as a cost centre. Career growth is limited, with US dictating terms and Jaipur is expected to be just following them.

Dear Appirian, Thanks for taking time out in sharing your feedback and highlighting areas where you feel we can do better & Huge Thanks for rating us “Great Company”. I would kindly ask you to please reach out to me, your manager or any of our global leader with your specific concerns which has led you to perceive that Jaipur Management is operating with highest degree of professionalism, integrity and transparency. Appirio Jaipur is amongst the fastest growing company in Jaipur/ Rajasthan with lots of growth opportunities - Given our pace and competitive landscape we'll continue to evolve and adapt however we're committed to invest appropriate time and energy in evolving our operational process framework in close collaboration/feedback with you (our employees) as well as communicating them effectively. We strongly encourage our employees to maintain their Work/Life balance respectively, however since we operate under global delivery model across multiple time zones so it's really your responsibility to set/manage expectation with your peers and/or project team, in case you need help/coaching here please discuss it with your immediate supervisor. I have duly noted your feedback on our promotion policy (and again you're encouraged to discuss the same with your immediate Manager, HR-Business Partner or any other Appirio executive leader) and I personally assure you that we're committed to create competitive working environment, which includes higher compensation as employees are promoted to increasing levels of responsibility. Please be assured that we take feedback from our employees very seriously, constructively so you should not have any fear of backlash (and I would strongly encourage you to leverage our internal Fun Factor surveys which are generally more actionable and ethical) and we're committed to make/evolve Appirio as Destination of choice offering ""best in class"" worker experience with tremendous growth opportunities.

Pros

Somewhat decent benefits. Work remotely.

Cons

Wipro's culture has completely replaced Appirio's and not for the better. Appirio was a great place to work but Wipro apparently paid half a billion to kill it. Their mentality is to throw key-punching contractor bodies at projects all for bargain basement rates. Good luck with that! They had 3 years to prepare for system integration between Appirio and Wipro. It was rolled out at the beginning of this year which turned out to be a huge mess. Very little in the Wipro "portal" seems to work as it is supposed to.

Pros

Good learning Opportunities. Good Reimbursements and can earn full Variable pay depending upon your utilization. Some of the resources are the best in industry. Canteen full of snacks.

Cons

Politics and partiality filled atmosphere from higher management perspective. Hire and Fire policy that i am observing since the beginning (1) Its been a month you are in the company and the next thing you might face is that you are fired because company feel's that they doesn't have a relevant position for you any-more. Why in the first place they hired you is a question then. (2) If the higher management doesn't like you , you are fired ..no matter how good you are at work or how well you are performing or how many years you have served the company. Continuously changing policies and No communication to the employees. Forget about increments . Even if it happens Rich will become more richer and poor will become more poorer . They have had such increments in the past .(an year ago nothing for this and next year) You are a good performer ? So what ? Equal treatment to good bad and average performer. you might feel demotivated if you are a good one. Transport department behaviour towards employees is extremely rude and partial . They have a monopoly of their own and they know employees do not have any platform to go and complain about them. Similarly it goes for IT department except that they are not rude but are extremely lazy to fix your issues. and most of the times they have the solution of formatting your laptop (if you nag them too much for solution) without understanding the problem or else directing you to the dell centre. No or 0% onsite opportunities. India team is still treated as offshore contractors and not really as a part of the global team.

"Dear Appirian, Greetings!! Allow me to first thank you for choosing Appirio Jaipur as your employer and sharing candid feedbacks on areas where we can do better. In Appirio we believe in recruiting and growing world-class individual/teams with our unique culture being differentiator and it’s critical that it’s reflected in our leadership style and expectation management when managing up/down. Our manager must create an environment of openness and honesty where every individual is treated with respect in humble yet confident way. Being a Senior Consultant in the organization you must get yourself completely embedded into the company and feel empowered to work with your manager, me or any other global leader to objectively raise your concerns and constructively collaborating with us to address those. As you're aware in the recent past we introduced change in our compensation philosophy to be able to frequently & real time promote our employees based on industry best established practices to measure performance/potential with correlation to respective Appirian Individual Development Plan. The change management aspect of some of these process are still in play leading to confusion however please be assured that we'll remain competitive & ""employer of choice"" in Jaipur region pay by providing fair compensation as well as great career growth opportunities to each of you. Again I'll stress that please feel empowered to objectively raise your concerns with your manager or me and I'll more than happy to solve each one of them. -- Best Regards, Manpreet Singh General Manager Appirio India B1,eVolve Building, 4th Floor IT/ITES, SEZ- Mahindra World City,Jaipur India Tel: +91 - 141-7103000 E-mail: msingh@appirio.com"
