Pros

Good Brand Good Delivery Model Good Learning and training modules

Cons

Unstable policies and employee benefit programs - company policies are frequently changing that are mostly not favoring employees Unaccountable leadership and managers - They do what they wish and deem correct without caring about the reportees. Most of them are unsatisfied for no apparent reason and think that caring about reportees aspiration or career growth is not something they are paid for. Higher leadership is kind of deaf to employees grievances and put up a mask in social gatherings or town hall, however they least care about employees . If your run into disagreement and need a change of project or role. Better change the company since unnecessarily your time will be wasted. Unnecessary bureaucracy and low flexibility - lot of unnecessary meetings and processes that leaves no time for training or attending any internal seminars Stressful - Lot of people seems quite stressful due to mismanagment of project leaders and poor set up of teams. Low respect of human values and quite visible lack of empathy and human relations, Biased behaviour, Favouritism and taking unfair advantage of a situation is quite prevalent and can be seen in few days of working in most of the projects

Pros

Receptive to suggestions, a good employee can push to change workflows with enough effort, new technologies

Cons

Mostly no management. As an employee you work directly with the client, making the workload pile up for some people and be almost inexistent for others. Having to book time for each task or small little thing you're working on.

Thank you for your input and taking the time to share your experience at Netcentric. One of our most important core values is “give-and-accept-feedback”. As you already know, Netcentric is run and powered by Holacracy. It is not your typical organisational structure and it might not be for everyone, so it takes time to learn it and own it for yourself. But, once you do, it opens up new opportunities to grow within the organisation, it adds a whole lot of transparency too. We value all of our employees' thoughts, so please always feel free to reach out to your advocate or Talent Management team with your feedback and concerns.
