Avis sur Centric Consulting

Avantages

Centric is an amazing firm. There's an unbelievable amount of freedom and the work culture is just perfect if you like to own up your work and possess decent technical knowledge. No other IT company in India can match the amount of flexibility you get here and the level of trust that Centric has on its employees. Coming from a big IT Consulting firm, I found Centric very comfortable. A fast-growing firm with 160 employees will certainly face all sorts of challenges and it will be impossible to keep everyone happy. However, higher management tries its best to listen to each and every employee. Manish, Brian, and Jason are great leaders having a vision for the future. It is always fun to interact with them and they are forever open and welcoming to questions. I request you to not pay heed to some negative reviews which might have arisen out of spite against a few individuals or vertical leads. Most of the vertical leads here are very friendly and understanding. Centric hosts frequent parties and there are festive celebrations that provide a great opportunity for new joiners to interact with the leadership and other employees. They have been able to acquire some great talent in every domain and most people here are technically sound in the technology they work on. Overall it has been an amazing experience working here and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone without a second thought. Centric is a place where you can choose to spend your entire career and retire comfortably.

Inconvénients

There's not enough uniformity across verticals. I have heard people whine about their manager being too strict when it comes to attending office whereas most other managers don't care if work from office or home as long as you meet client deliverables. Few people work remotely for months whereas some others are forced to work from office 3 days a week. I think the firm policy should be a bit more clearer and enforced uniformly for every individual irrespective of their team. This is just a meager issue and I didn't see any other con so far.

Avantages

Good work life balance Very liberal company policies Work from home No rigid working hours Lateral career movements Open Culture

Inconvénients

Projects with new technologies can be introduced

Avantages

When you interview with Centric you almost don't believe that culture is as paramount as everyone says or the reviews here on GlassDoor. Joining the Centric team was not an easy decision for me to make, I was leaving a job that I enjoyed, with a team that I cared about. However, the opportunity to join a company that embraces "being human" and revolves around unmatched experiences for their clients and their employees was intriguing. I'm glad I made the decision to join the team, and I'm happy to report that everything I was told in my interview process and read online was highly accurate.

Inconvénients

The company is growing, and with that comes some pain, which is typical with any organization. I have been through similar types of experiences and can attest that Centric is managing towards the right kind of change. We are working to make improvements to our internal processes, which will help tremendously.

Avantages

There's one, they provide decent packages, but that too comes with a price!!

Inconvénients

First of all, don't get fooled with the positive reviews and overall ratings, as they are from US employees. The organization truly justifies its name (Centric), doesn't care about the employees. Let's talk about the so-called flexi-time policy of the company. HR would boast about this policy, and may even suggest you to leave early in the starting one or two weeks, saying you can do WFH. But this is just a trap, in the coming days, you would be burdened with so much work, that you would be working for more than 9hrs a day. You would be asked to join in meetings at odd hours regularly, and the flexi-time policy and WFH will turn into work always from anywhere, no matter what. Secondly, there is zero IT support. You would be given a laptop on the first day, which you would have to set up on your own. Moreover, if you face any issues with the device in the coming days, you would have to deal with it on your own since there is no IT support team to help with this. This is just the beginning of the list, and it keeps ongoing. For eg., you are told not to log your extra working hours in the time-sheet (which you will be doing every day), this is the price you would have to pay for the package which will be offered to you. There is no process for the development cycle, you would be asked to deliver items in one day without any prior notifications about the release. - Poor management, no planning for the upcoming requirements. - Your personal life will become hell since there is no work-life balance. - Management always fail to take proper decisions in crucial situations. - No planning for long-term. If you are someone who doesn't care about personal life, can take calls with very short notice, please go ahead and join. For the efforts you would be required to put in, you can easily get a job with much higher package.

Avantages

Only Work from home and that to be limited to 3 days a week .

Inconvénients

- Non-Tech project manager who always fails to prove themselves in crucial situation against client and then look for weakest link in team to play blame game. - Incapability to manage big clients. - Senior resource from Aon always bully non-Aon resource in Team and take away their accomplishments. - expection are always higher non-Aon employee. - partiality in every things whether its work time or fun time.

Avantages

Executive leadership, holiday parties, work life balance, vacation time

Inconvénients

Culture is very office/location specific. The push to grow is causing hiring decisions (and people decisions in general) that are killing the culture.
