Pros

Good culture. Good co-workers. Average or below average salary but ok if you dont expect.

Cons

Low pay. India management still see old market and do not help to solve your issue especially salary. No transparency. Slow management when you ask anything especially employee favor. Surveys not anonymous, so still fear to convey. Many one on one happen for formality. All good employees gone. No appreciation or recognition for work. Instead of solving issue only fake promise given. Half hike give as bonus after 6 months for retaining employees but it is our money should pay before. But loss for employees only.

We have invested significantly to catch up our team in Chennai for salaries, and are now working to provide stronger benefits. We do see the need, and have made changes. We are committed to continuing to improve the employment experience and are compensating accordingly now, we were not in the past. The increase in salaries initially caught us by surprise. The surveys are anonymous, and leadership takes them very seriously and works to improve int he areas identified. It is difficult to read negative reviews about oneself, however it is also important to act on them. I think we do a good job improving with feedback. I think we are much better than we were a year ago, and will be much better again next year. Thank you for the review - Derek

Thank you for the review. Chicago has been a valuable operation to us, we opened it up to get our first experience using our MatchGuide teachnology in the USA, and it has paved the way for us to do acquisition in the USA, of which we will do many over the next 3 years. Chicago was our first USA website, curated database, timesheet to cash process for fully sourced, hire and training on our curriculum, and many other firsts. Our Chicago team has some great talent in it and is doing well creating a foundation curated database of local talent. Chicago is very similar to Toronto and there is potential to have a similar sized organization there, it will require some acquisitions, however that is how we built out Ottawa and Toronto in Canada, then followed on by organic growth. Your point about USA profile is correct, we will need to do a marketing campaign to get candidates onto our website. Acquisitions with a good brand and additional curated candidates will also help. I'm very proud to have an office in Chicago, and a team there. We have local mind and management and are ready to grow. We will! - Derek
