Good Company to Work For - Associate Technical Lead Nagarro Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed feedback for Nagarro. I, of course, agree with all the pros that you have presented. You have captured them well. Let me focus my response on the cons and the advice to management sections. Work-life balance is a tricky topic. And I would gladly meet you in person and discuss this with you. In my opinion, work-life balance needs to be measured over longer duration and not week-by-week or month-by-month. Our data and surveying of the employees suggest that on average no one spends more than 50 hours a week in the office. At the same time, you may be in a project going through a tough phase where you are spending 70-80 hours a week. That can happen. It is the nature of the industry we work in. Yes, we have a lot of new people joining us. And yes, it takes a while before they understand and adopt the culture that we have at Nagarro. I urge you not to let that put you off. We are doing a number of things to get new people to understand what our culture is. Agile doesn't also mean a lack of processes :) - having said that, I can assure you that if you compare the processes followed at Nagarro, they are some of the most lightweight processes around. We are on the constant lookout for making sure that there isn't too much bureaucracy in our processes (whether software development processes or organizational processes). Sometimes we are behind the curve a little, but we always catch up. If you notice something that you think can be improved, you should suggest the improvement to the process team or HR. The A2FS ratings being delayed is a problem that is currently being addressed very aggressively. I agree that the ratings are delayed (though not maliciously, as in no one is trying to take advantage, they are just not paying enough attention). Also, I agree that these should be monthly. But let's get some discipline going for the quarterly ones first. You should know that we are working on it right now. We can talk for ages about compensation models. For now, it should suffice that Nagarro's increments today at least are more than most companies in our industry. Once again, thank you for such a detailed feedback. If you have more feedback or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to senior management or HR (even if your new manager gets offended).
