Pros

I worked for this company for 6 years.This used to be a great company when the ratio for non Indians and Indian employees were offset. Benefits are ok, 401k matched at 5%.

Cons

Everyone considered this company as Little India since managers from every department only hires Indians colleagues or friends. The product quality has deteriorated, you have people left and right coming out of India out of no where. They have no clue to what they are doing. Their resumes looks really polished but when it comes to the real work they are useless, all talk no action. Indian managers expects to have them trained by experience employees or else. HR is aware of this practice by hiring only Indians but they are powerless since they are scared of losing their jobs. There are way better talented local applicants than what Indian managers hires but it is a common practice for Indian managers to only bring in Indians from their own kind. This is a common practice for all companies but Elekta have also been infected and company is going down everyday.

Pros

Good products and good mission to cure cancer. It used to have good work-life balance, good working culture but not anymore.

Cons

Constant re-orgs and lay off for cost cutting. No direction for the company on the senior management side. Current employees are in fear when they'd hit next. The company does not have bonus or RSUs, nor the most competetive salary, the only good part was work culture and stability and now thats also gone. Why would anyone join the company?
