Vantaggi

Has a good number of fortune 500 clients. Have many good and fun loving people all around - both at onshore and offshore. Depending on the client and your luck you can participate in some of the fun activities happening within the company. Same is applicable to getting into good projects with good learning opportunities. Though going downhill, it still has some values and cultures (atleast it pretends so). Approachability to managers any level above you (though end results are questionable). If you are willing to take more responsibilities you will get it and if you are really smart you will most likely get most of the credit out of it. Being able to do a good job with good communication along with good measurable KRA settings is important.

Svantaggi

Employee resource allocation is really bad - if not really careful the possibility of getting pushed into a bad project is very high and at the time of appraisal the favor we did will get ignored very easily. No or minimal salary appraisals - and we can come across all sort of funny reasons (and may also hear about some mysterious normalization which no one knows if and when it happens). So whoever is considering this company better do a good at salary negotiation before accepting any offer. The company has surprisingly high number of dumb or bad managers – especially in the middle management level. A majority of project management mostly confines to task tracking and not much real planning - so project success almost fully depends on the technical team. The company being just another underdog consulting company trying to play and survive in the big league most new projects seems to be under-quoted in terms of time and/or billing amount - and the entire teams bear the brunt of it. And partly this is the reason for a sub standard compensation for most of the employees.

Vantaggi

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Svantaggi

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.

We also recognize that transitions can be challenging, and providing support through the journey remains a priority. Your point on staying grounded in UST’s values truly resonates. Our values of humanity, humility and integrity continue to guide us as we evolve. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
