      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Aspire Systems full-time

      Pros

      Lots of free time in Chennai office. Snack break, lunch break, again snack break, long breaks etc. Can play volleyball in evenings.

      Cons

      This is just another staff augmentation company. Nothing great. C level executives and senior management travels a lot internationally but I think it is of no use, just waste of time and money. Most of the good people have left the company or let go.

      Pros

      Good company to start career as a fresher. Will get to learn many things and have opportunities for smart freshers. Relatively open culture. Good training framework for freshers. Good facility. Good for people who wants to be in comfort zone.

      Cons

      Conservative management. Slow to innovate based on changing market. Lot of politics. People who make noise for change is easily cornered and pushed out. We can see senior people creating groups and stick to that group for any decisions/choices. Not a good choice for onsite opportunities. Salaries are very low and onsite HR department is very bad. Many people moves out of the company after reaching US as it is difficult to sustain with the salary company provides. There are no clear policies for onsite and benefits are not great. Work pressure at onsite is unthinkable.

      Advice to Management

      Bring senior leadership (VP level) in HR. Recruit one good onsite HR who do some work rather than just talking. Standardize onsite salary and make it par with market. Otherwise, you will lose good people at onsite. Be open to change and invest in people. Politics in SL is stopping good and capable people to grow and contribute to company. Bring more medium/large projects.

      Pros

      Good company. Good co-workers. You get opportunities if you are willing to take it. I got a good team and manager and they've driven me to reach the height I was looking for. CEO is nice person. He is determined in his vision to drive the company. I'd say Aspire is good company to start your career and you will learn things from scratch.

      Cons

      Managers can be little more flexible.

      Advice to Management

      Talented managers are very few, some areas manager is positioned just because of years they worked in company. HR process should be improved, sometimes you don't get proper response from HR management and NO clarity on HR policies.
