Everyone is entitled to their opinion, ours is that all of our employees are nice people. We also feel that our employees, management included, are engaged. Nakisa is in a great place and is growing rapidly. We are getting better and bigger, and only moving forward.

Pros

Great location in Montreal Downtown Free breakfast and fruits There are some genuinely good people who work there (But will leave the company as soon as they can)

Cons

• No transparency on products roadmap • Unreliable products with a lot of bugs and problems • Pricing of professional services is incredibly high • Poor support team, customers have many problems, some of them for more than a year • Very unorganized management, as an example: it can take you weeks for a simple approval • No human interaction with most of the managers • Lack of communication between teams and departements • The highest turnover I’ve seen during my career, Nakisa fire a lot of people for blurred and unjustified reasons. As a result, the vast majority of their employees are worried, stressed and looking to leave the company. Even C-Level employees come and go • Montreal office hygiene: Desks are never cleaned, rats in the office, office carpet is dirty and used…. • Company lost their partnership with SAP. That made the company lose many customers. … When reading the reviews, I really think HR posted most of the positive ones. And please consider that during probation period, HR ask every employee to post a review in Glassdoor. Most of employees will not put their job at risk by writing the truth. This is indeed a family and friends run business. Reputation in the market is right: The worst company, no values. Internal politics govern in this company. Turnover like never seen! If you already have a job, don't quit to go there, you will regret it as I did. Don't waste your time long term at Nakisa, Your career will stagnate. Joining Nakisa was the worst decision I took during my career.

Hello, We find it unfortunate that your perception of Nakisa is so negative. Each company has its strength and its weaknesses. We don’t shy away from the areas we need to improve on, we are happy to say we are constantly improving. What we do prioritize is the attention we provide to our employees, the quality of our products, and our customer service. We hope you find what you were looking for.
