Good only for Malayalees

Pros

Good work - life balance.

Cons

01. I am a former contractor turned FTE, have been awarded multiple times, highest performer because of my work, but could not grow in terms of learning and position because I am not a malayalee and a bum licker. 02. The senior management is all Malayalees except for one guy in Pune. All they want is to increase head count for billing purposes. They talk just about anything in the townhalls, and people who come form MNCs laugh at them. 03. All team leads are 10+ years experienced, Pappu's of their Managers in line and secretly try to hide their frustration. 04. The Managers hate it when you apply your brain and logic, because its only their way of thinking that is right. 05. Mindless video conferences, countless meetings - for no reason at all, nothing purposeful is discussed or achieved - ever. 06. Onsite visits for no reason what so ever, just for fun. Make a stupid business case and fly; thats it - its that simple. 07. People hired laterally are hired for any random skill and later given training for the real job. The KT never stops, 4 year old people are still taking KTs. 08. Out of the 400- staff in Pune, almost 80% has changed in the last 2 years including all the HR staff itself and half of the Senior Management. It is rumoured that the HoDs are running their own companies on family names. 09. Lavish parties and outings in the name of team building. 10. People are working there because they are unable to find jobs elsewhere.

North American Branch is Dying

Pros

paycheck, pto, 401k, dont really have to do much because they are desperate

Cons

DO NOT JOIN THIS COMPANY IN NORTH AMERICA. It is dying. Bonus payout is March 24th and many people will be heading for the door never to return again. The North American branch has been run into the ground with bad management for years. People in all areas of the North America are quitting in droves. CEO is a clueless clown who has no idea what his employees want. CFO is a status quo bozo. IT is a joke. Systems don't work. Last one out turn off the lights. As Hawk Harrelson used to say....THIS GAME IS OVA!!!

Pros

AGCS in the US has very good benefits, international presence with offices around the world, people in general are friendly.

Cons

I was at AGCS for a little over 5 years, and it was largely a mess. Years of poor company performance with no pay raises and slashed bonuses, along with massive layoffs and offshoring of certain departments led to low morale and a general sense of apathy from employees. On our quarterly company-wide financial calls people would even be openly calling out executives in the Q&A about the state of the company. In addition to this, there is a huge CYA/political landscape to navigate at AGCS as well. I was encouraged to only communicate via email and not call people in order to have records of everything to cover myself and my department in the future since trust among groups is low. AGCS US has to report to the Germany headquarters, and very often what works for Germany doesn't work for the US and vise versa which just led to gridlock, meetings about meetings, failed multi-year projects with layoffs, and everybody's time being wasted in the end. AGCS is about as corporate and bloated as it gets. The IT and tech is way behind the times as well. This is a company that up until only 2 years ago was still using Lotus Notes as the primary email client.
