Sierra Atlantic Employee Review

Former Employee – worked at Sierra Atlantic

Pros – Company has some projects/ onsite engagements basically projects which no one else would bid for like couple of reports/enhancements etc.
Good for people who may want to join as directors, as there is no great work to do except playing politics (If one is good at it).
Although its ok to work, but its highly dissatisfying experience to observe the way people play politics in the name of documented policies.

Cons – Company does not offer serious growth opportunities.
It feels like to work in a family owned business enterprise.
Few managers are talented, however, most of them lack the sense of judgement.
Boot lickers get onsite opportunities
Lot of pressure on Projects, and no support from management/offshore team.
People in middle management level like Practice Heads etc are more concerned about their own position rather than company and people.
Once you travel to onsite, getting your claims settled is a big pain, finance team under the leadership of the CFO is all set to screw up your happiness.
Lot of politics.
The company does not have basic policies in place for things like Variable pay, allowances and reimbursements.
No more flexible timings, as attendance regularization is being rejected by HR, and salary is being cut when you exit the organization.
Lose out on all your money which organization owes you in case you resign before settling the dues like onsite refunds/ variable pay

Advice to Senior Management – Wake up. You have already lost a lot of talent due to your inconsiderate attitude towards your people. The taking over by Hitachi is not the solution to problems in your own home.
Clean up the mess before you get wiped out of business.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
