Current Employee – been working at Trianz full-time for more than 10 years

ProsAn amazing journey so far with Trianz. You want to be in a challenging environment which helps you lead by example - something I have seen right from the top. As someone rightly pointed out here, if you wish to be creative, leash that entrepreneurial instincts you have hidden inside you and no compromise on Integrity/values....this is the right place to be!

ConsCan improve on employee engagement and training programs....Its hard to please everyone, but can see strides happening in this direction as well.

Advice to Senior ManagementTrianz has the magic formula and the right vision to scale to greater heights so staying focussed is key...and more importantly advice for middle management to continue providing the right support and believe. When you believe and have the faith with each support you see wonders happening around!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Trianz full-time for less than a year

Prosno salary standards, so you can negotiate well during joining, especially if they are hiring for critical requirement. They will promise everything from green cards , career growth etc etc. all sorts of people will interview

ConsI left a good job with TOP MNC because they promised to get the GC started immediately. I was hired for a project, in 5 months it came to an end , and suddenly i was asked to resign or go to India. When hired they said lot of projects across US , now i Know they have only 3or 4 projects , so very difficult to find other work

I realized later that this was happening to even people who have worked for 8+ years, project ends, you go to India / take leave till next project. refuse to continue GC until next project. Nobody will talk to you except the HR person calling to find when you can resign. People who made all the promises will not even return your calls or emials. everybody disappears

Advice to Senior Managementbe honest to your employers , dont make false promises to candidates and spoil their lives.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Trianz

ProsReceived excellent support from team and management to get up to speed. Very interesting projects at some of the large clients around here. A progressive organization - continuous learning and growth opportunities.

ConsWide spread of offerings for it's size... but could turn out to be a huge positive eventually. The locations could use better integration.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe recent wave of energy is refreshing... let this not be short-lived... continue this till the new initiatives are understood and achieved.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Trianz

ProsVery perseverant senior management.
Did not get bogged down and give up during the recession when most similar companies fell by the way side.
Very just and fair to all employees.
Great opportunities for challenging projects.
CEO, Sri Manchala leads by example, total delight in the way he works.

ConsNeed to keep employees updated with new policy changes.
Need to get strict with non performing, complaining employees who are there to only take a pay check home without any effort.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet rid of all those complainers and whiners who are interested in bonuses, raises and fat checks. Make sure they are on projects and feel free to show them the door when they are not effective. They should be happy to have been employed throughout the recession. Rid the company of ungrateful employees so you can make way for genuine talent and hardworking. I have no doubt Trianz will have the last laugh by year end, and a hearty one too. You are doing just great so keep up the good work, CEO, VPs, Directors and the Board!

Former Employee – worked at Trianz

Pros- Entrepreneurs will have an easier time excelling at Trianz as it doesn't have much structure and process
- Nothing else

Cons- No clear vision - 'being a Mckinsey is not a vision statement'
- No real capabilities
- Senior management lacks a defined vision

Advice to Senior Management- Develop a niche and target it
- Differentiate from the big firms by focusing on advisory capabilities and not systems integration

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
