Pros
- Transparent: Open culture and transparency is the USP of this organization when it comes to employees. System is so open that employee can view all types of data including about Company, Projects and all. You can even see the expenses submitted by CEO! The beauty of the system is having-no-surprises-no-hidden-policies. - Innovators/first-movers: Organization is known to start any practice in its initial phase itself. SFDC, WorkDay and Cornerstone-on-Demand are key examples here. It gives us an unmatched advantage over others in the market. - Opportunities: With a go-getter organization growing at such pace, an employee will always find a number of opportunities such as skill-set, roles and designation. - Challenging/Competitive: I personally feel that the Theme of this Organization is to run, run and Run faster. That environment will definitely make you challenge yourself and set the bar higher. Personally, I felt that the working style has changed a lot after joining this company if compared with my last tenures. - Fun: Appirio has a major focus in this area. HR managers, directors, employees and everyone devoting hours to manage this factor is very amazing to see. You got fun-factor-Friday, kids’ day, team parties and a number of regional events to balance the Fun side. I found it unique in industry!! - Respected: First-movers with best in class Tech standards are always respected in industry, and Appirio is no exception. I have been in conferences/meetups with other implementer/organization, the kind of respect Appirians receive is truly gratifying! - WFH: Appirio is a 100% cloud based company. In fact, no one needs to manage servers here - everything is via Cloud Apps. Features like these enables you to get into a very easy Work-from-home culture. You don't need VPNs or other overheads to make yourself up for Working from anywhere. If you are doing your job well - no matter where in the world you are, be it office, home or permanent home Office. - Rewards: Transparency! Yes - Rewards structure is again very transparent. They got Company wise and region wise rewards. Recently Jaipur region developed Monthly, Quarterly reward structure that is so encouraging!
Cons
- Work life balance: At times Work-Life-Balance gets affected in such competitive environment though we got Fun activities and compensation for the same. In some cases we need to completely sync with US hours - not generally, but it happens. Company should do something to turn the table here. - Onshore Opportunities: Having a majorly US driven sales/execution model makes it lesser onshore opportunities to the people here. Appirio must do something here.
