Manhattan Associates Reviews in Atlanta, GA Area

Pros

Very Intellectual Employee Base, Setting the New Standards in the Industry, Plenty of Work to go Around, Plenty of Room for Advancement in first 5-7 years.

Cons

Company is so successful in the industry they have a backlog of work, and a shortage of people to do it. Hard to replace the needed skill sets quickly, but they are trying.

Advice to Senior Management

Business strategy execution is almost flawless, a simple verbal "thank you" is worth more than you think, and it doesn't cost you anything (except a little humility).

Pros

Decent starting salary. Good opportunity to own a project.

Cons

Reviews and salary increases are not consistent across departments.

Pros

Great culture, Inspirational, Learn lots, fast

Cons

No work/life balance, Hit career growth ceiling in 5 years

Pros

It is a job and you do get paid. The office building is nice and the gym is also nice and affordable.

Cons

The culture is awful. I worked in the development group and was in the sever minority as an American. Most of the people are from India and really have no desire to associate with Americans. A friend of mine who is Indian used to work with me at Manhattan and he told me people would ask him all of the time what he talked to me about.
If you worked in the development group you were expected to work 6 days a week. If you don't you are looked down upon. If you leave work before 7 you are also looked down upon and admonished by your manager.
I have never experienced such a horrible work environment and a company that doesn't care about their employees as much as Manhattan.

Advice to Senior Management

Fix the culture in development. Don't trap people in their jobs with a visa tied just to that company.

Pros

Flexible hours(at first).
Most people are very nice to work with(projects, etc)

Cons

The training and promotion path is swayed. My experience with this that it's not what you know but who you know. That's how you get ahead in this company(qualified or not).
Micro-Managing

Advice to Senior Management

Do not hire managers for positions without providing training to them first.

Pros

Great place to work if you are in SCM field
Pay and Benefits is good

Cons

Horrible Promotion process. Qualification doesnt give you promotion here.
Senior management only care for money
No work life balance

Advice to Senior Management

Please treat your employees as Human

Pros

Some of the people I worked with early on and who have since moved on were great to work with. Since then the company is in no mood to hire new people and those who are coming in are mostly incompetent, since no one wants to board a sinking ship.

Cons

1. No recognition
2. Very poor compensation
3. Indian management - Most managers in R&D and services are Indian, and when it comes to employee recognition and growth they have no clue what to do.
4. Long hours, work is adhoc, primitive technologies contrary to what they claim
5. Poor code base
6. Very reactive s/w development efforts, almost everyone is exclusively working on bugs. New work is limited in scope as a result.

Advice to Senior Management

1. A greater emphasis needs to be put into employee growth
2. Employee compensation should also increase, inflation is more than the annual increments
3. Benefits are poor
4. Remove incompetent managers

Pros

1. Mid-sized company, so you are not just an employee number
2. Room for growth at an early stage in your career
3. Good benefits and vacation plan
4. Get to travel while you are single and young
5. Meet many different people and learn many different things about many different industries

Cons

1. Travel can be too much at times
2. Job is technical at first, you need to like software
3. Job can be painstaking and boring at times
4. You can probably make more at other consulting companies
5. There is a ceiling when you reach the management level

Advice to Senior Management

The promotion process needs to change. The Principal position should be for technical personnel only. Consultants manage projects and thus should be titled manager. Need better professional and technical training internally. We shouldn't cancel training courses when clients don't show up. We should keep the training classes when internal resources signed up.

Pros

Great learning opportunity. Smart people.

Cons

Managars tend to micro manage at times

Advice to Senior Management

NA

Cons

Advice to Senior Management

Hire more to help your employees with managing and balancing work and life better. Pay them better.
