Pros

SWIFT team is good at organizing events and activities.

Cons

Managers in US have no respect for Indian employees. They want all employees to work on Festival days and when the idea is resented, US manager's abuse the entire Indian community with filthy languages. Our beloved HR team is worthless, other than for signing relieving letters. They are incapable initiating any action even when harassment is reported. Higher Management, instead of taking action against harassment, educate Indian employees to become stronger towards abuse. If the same thing had happened in US, world would be upside down by now. Indian pride is at stake and still the Indian management has no guts to initiate action US managers, such a pity. No point working in a company wherein managers doesn't have spine in the back.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. While we zealously guard ourselves and our culture against all forms of prejudice including ethnicity, religion, personal status, we strongly advise our associates that if they encounter any negative or unprofessional encounter they should immediately let their senior manager or appropriate HR person know so we can immediately address the situation. Our senior management team maintains an “open door” communication policy and also frequently travels across remote development centers to stay in close contact with all employees. Our HR team is obliged to promptly attend to these concerns and take necessary steps. Steelwedge operates through multi locations in the world. We strive to create an inclusive workplace environment by which we leverage our global teams, their ideas and talent. And so diversity is at the heart of our business and who we are. We also ensure all our Managers and Associates understand this e.g. they undergo compulsory training on workplace harassment and prevention of discrimination trainings at least once a year. We have also set up workplace diversity and prevention of harassment committee to address these issues in a timely and objective manner. We are sorry to hear that you are facing this issue and hope you are working through this process internally. We appreciate your feedback.

Pros

- A visionary executive team that has a long-term view for the company - Best of breed product - Gartner recognized and appreciated by industry (especially clients) - Great support ecosystem - from a sales guy's point of view the support given by legal, finance and operations is tremendous - After a little turbulence (which is natural after a shakeup), the company has stabilized and there is a sense of purpose. Probably also explains some of the negative reviews :) - Healthy pipeline - as a sales guy am spending more time qualifying deals and figuring out which ones to pursue, rather than having to generate them - Processes are not burdensome - I have seen companies where process becomes a huge overhead. So far I have derived value from the lean processes followed in sales

Cons

- Product portfolio is rapidly changing - need to keep up with changes - Competitors are large and have deep pockets. That renders some deals 'un-win-able' as competitors bundle up SCM products with ERP products and offer deep discounts

Pros

The company has a history of innovation that rewards people willing to do what it takes to create market breakthroughs. Already recognized by Gartner as a leader in Sales & Operations Planning, the company launched its next-generation planning platform in October 2015, powered by the same Silicon Valley technologies that underlie high performance platforms such as Google, LinkedIn and Facebook, to turbo charge planning speed and scale. While the company is putting processes and people in place to manage its transition from an "S&OP only" company to a company driving broad planning innovation, management is inclusive in involving people at all levels of the organization in this transformation. This is a place for people who want to immerse themselves in a meaningful endeavor, not a place for people who just want a "steady job."

Cons

Some employees holding on to "the way we used to do things" can create negative vibes. New talent coming in can rally support, but there is the need to address those resistant to evolving along with the company. The company solves strategically important problems for market-leading companies, so sales cycles can be long (although this is the case in many companies selling enterprise solutions.)

Your review is thoughtful and much appreciated. We are working diligently to think outside of the box in terms of process, so we can achieve greatness, transitioning away from the "the way we used to do things" mindset.
