Leadership not always take rational decisions.

Management does a good job with being transparent and horizontal. People growth is strongly encouraged and focused on, which is the best part of the company.

Cons

Sapient looks for and hires the best in their respective field; however, they are too lax when looking for best fit for the company and its core values.

Advice to Senior Management

The company is all about people growth. Recent new hires seem to care more about themselves than about other people and the company. Don't let our rosy vision of growth and profits blind us from the path our core values were meant to lead us on.

They shouldn't hire the people in bulks opposite to their requirement

Pros

Awesome company to work with, lots of freedom is given to everyone to think and change their life. Beautiful culture and leadership development techniques.

I believe Management should focus on Asia markets specially in the current scenario where US and EU economy are going through historic tough time.

Advice to Senior Management

Dont pass the presser to the developers by keeping more managers on top of their heads

Pros

Used to be a hot-box of creativity, innovation. A real place "on the up". Great people at most levels. Excellent, deep digital knowledge. Few chips on shoulders. Easily got another job as a Creative Director off the back of out-dated reputation (and my good work!).

Cons

Not good to sit on a bank of 6 desks on your own, having your work-mates suddenly moved to another floor. Not good to recieve an email on a Monday morning telling you that from being an Art Director yesterday, today you are now a Senior Designer. Not good having your name taken off award winning work. Generally, not good.

Advice to Senior Management

Rewind to previous leadership team. Protect good ideas. Be open, honest, collaborative. Checks and balances at all levels.

Pros

There is openness in its culture.
Everything is very transparent.
Work in very niche technologies.
Feedback is given at each level.

Cons

Bad work life balance.
There are More managers than developers.
Bench period may be very long.
Sometimes people may not listen to you.

Pros

- Good for people who want to explore opportunity in consulting which may not be so much tech oriented

Cons

-Do not have good projects
-As advertised by them "We hire Geeks"... but they are unaware of the fact that geeks ahave huger of technology and they seriously lack in it. Please change your hiring tag line.
-Not good exposure in tech areas
-Work-Life balance lacks

Advice to Senior Management

Try to get better project and long term commitment project instead of doing small things and support

Pros

Salary...i.e. only things which entices peoples in
Lot of creative i.e. advertising work. So would suit you if you are working on CSS/JS.

Cons

Since 2009, Sapient Nitro has become an ad agency focusing on running advertising campaigns and marketing events. The kind of work is very limited to shallow package implementation or dumb creative work. I find them to be confused on how they want to position the company for future too.

 Because of firing and work culture good people don't join it now and the bunch of new folks are mediocre to plain stupid. They have not been able to deliver a large enterprise project without getting people burnt in ages.

All the talks of values which they give and stuck to walls.

Advice to Senior Management

Get realistic and try to gauge reality on the ground. Sitting in boston , running an ad agency as an IT organization does not work
