Pros

Senior management is very good and provides good opportunities.

Cons

Middle management is very poor. Sapient is rife with Diector level persons that are uniterested in employee career growth, unimaginative, often in positiions which they have no applicable skills, and are only interested in their agenda. I've never encountered a company like this and certainly wish to never again. The actions of their management proves them to be deceitful and not looking out for the company or clients best interest. Very disappointing. If you hate politics don't waste your time with this company.

Advice to Senior Management

Rid the company of parasites that have zero worth and basically lie to HR and other persons within the company. Sapient Start should utilize and employ materials applicable to working at the company. I watched many good people leave disgusted and frustrated. Become a real marketing/advertising company employing professional experienced people. I wish your clients luck.

Very open culture and good team dynamics. Great brand to work with good compensation!

Cons

Sometimes WBL is not too good.

Management does not show any concern towards employees needs.

Advice to Senior Management

Management should treat employees as humans not machines. They have there own life apart from work. Managers put too much pressure on employees.

ok place to work - depending on your managers whim and fancy. Join only if you are willing to work long and hard.

Middle management needs to improve. Developers need respect and not resources. Long hours does not mean more work. Act now.

Advice to Senior Management

Sapient has an open culture, but with the influx of employees from other organization the culture is mixing and taking a very different turn. This is not good for sapient's own unique identity. There is no single vision in the company, vision has changed 3 times in last 6 years.
