Bad Resource Management, Worst HR

Senior Consultant (Current Employee)
Ahmedabad (India)

I have been working at CIGNEX Technologies full-time for more than 3 years

ProsIf you have reference or if you give smile to everyone or if you are non-technical but can talk sweet/smart, CIGNEX is for you.
+ Only handful of excellent technical people working as foundation/shoulder of the firm making this company worth joining. Don't want to name these excellent people but I must say that you are fortunate if you get chance to work with these very few (to be specific 3 people- 1 person each from Liferay, Testing and IT) excellent SUPER people who are always there to help and save the troubled projects as you can learn many things/tools/technologies/skills from them and you will never be insecure about the job and you will certainly become their fans. If you have worked in Cignex, you will easily figure it out who they are.

ConsCIGNEX Datamatics- Worst HR.
- HR Director (cartoon lady) supports non-technical and unskilled people. Skilled people are not identified and appreciated by HR and HR only likes the people who help in recruiting people fast even those people are dumb. Policies not in favor of employees.
- CEO doesnt value people.
- Very bad resource management and resource allocation for Development and QA.
- Awful processes. team working on processes and compliance work in reactive mode like filmy Indian police who reaches the place always late when incident already happened. lol!!! Pathetic!!! CIGNEX Datamatics HR Sucks!!!
- Politics doesn't allow good people to grow and bad people (good at talks) are thought of giving managerial posts. Demotivating.

Advice to Senior ManagementReduce Politics. Encourage good people and promote techno managerial skills. Improve resource planning and management. Improve processes.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Good at culture. Unorganized and Without Proper Processes.

Senior Consultant (Current Employee)
Ahmedabad (India)

I have been working at CIGNEX Technologies full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGood Work Culture
Short time projects
Few very good employees
First employees of some departments (Testing, PHP, etc.) are still with the organization who are excellent and incredible.
Strong Pillars in each Department who have grown the teams from scratch in last 5 years and always helped others.

ConsLack of proper Processes inspite of CMMi Certified
Increasing fake and show-off employees
Traveling
Lower salaries and no timely appraisals
No Bonus
HR unaware of performers/non-performers

Advice to Senior ManagementIncrease salaries. Recognize the real talents and skills. Reward the performers with Bonus.
