Pros
After having worked for a couple of large IT companies and a mid-sized IT company, I was a little apprehensive when I started here more than 3 years ago because of its relatively small size back then. It has been long when my doubts gave way to a sense of fulfillment. Here are the reasons why I rate Nagarro so highly:
- Things move fast here. The processes are way ahead of being mature, they are NOT the typical long drawn ones you find at larger organizations. If you have a valid business case, you can get what you need in a flash.
- The work that you do is self-actualizing. The company allows you to realize your potential to its fullest. You get ample opportunities to pursue your professional goals, if you have what it takes. This is made possible through projects that are super complex, and require high levels of technical expertise.
- You work for the best clients in the world. Many of Nagarro's clients are world leaders in their respective industries. Working at Nagarro makes for a rich professional experience.
- The salaries are higher than much larger IT firms on an average, though they may not absolutely be the highest. If you manage to get past the rigorous selection process, you can be sure to find yourself in the 90th percentile of the Indian IT workforce in terms of 'take home salary', for your experience level.
- Its a safe, gender neutral place to work. The workplace and the transport system are safe for female as well as male employees, with zero tolerance for unacceptable behavior by male colleagues. With zero gender bias, female employees get a rare, level playing field when they work at Nagarro.
- The CEO connects with the least experienced of colleagues the same way that he does with the most experienced ones. I have never come across a more easily approachable top management, with the CEO leading from the front. He prefers calling you 'a colleague' over 'an employee'.
Cons
If you are an average IT worker, you may struggle to get past the highly selective recruitment process. In the unlikely event that you do get past, you have to contend with a highly capable and competitive workforce. Matching the performance of your peers in the organization doesn't come easy.
