      Have consequences for individuals having behaviors teaching them why staff is important to them and why behaviors aren't exceptable. True some may not understand depending on they level of mental age.

      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.

      I worked at Aspire Systems full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      What can I expect? Cool Mac, fun working space, always full fridge, plenty of foods, catering service. Just no swimming pool yet.

      The team is expanding, and not just local people but with the expats from other countries. Plenty of opportunities there to catch.

      Cons

      The challenge is not really challenging enough for our engineers. We set the bar really high to hire people, but when we got them, we just put them in a boring project. It would be difficult to retain those people as it would be consider a step down for them. The initiative to turn weekend job to day job is really good, but somehow we lack of the environment to help people to generate ideas.

      Advice to Management

      Please be clear and specific to the employees. The company wants to be transparent to all employees, it is good. But sometimes the direction is vague, and even the current employees don't know exactly what is the vision, the goal that the company is trying to achieve. Are we a product company? Are we a service company? What are the long term goals other than financial goals? We have been told a lot about how to make company success, but sometimes we don't know if we are on right direction. As for service, clients are always true, but sometimes they don't. We should have the brave to tell them that. I believe it will make us different than the rest.
