The point that I am going to make here is really very crucial and needs extreme attention of the higher management. Hopefully the senior management would take it on priority and do something about it.The retention policy at Nagarro is really awesome. Nagarro takes a step further in retaining its employees and especially the old ones. However, with this they have turned a blind eye to the fact that many of the employees who have been working here from many years have really proved NPAs to the company.Noteworthy are the observations about these emplyees :-
1. Communication Skills are really pathetic. It seems they haven't thought of working on this since so many years as they feel it's unimportant.Some of the employess at the positions of Leads,Managers are really very bad at it inspite of the fact that these are the people who have direct client facing.
2. Many of the employees are really bad at their technical skills and stand nowhere with the new quality resources that are coming from various other companies.
3. Many of the new employees have to suffer because of these employees in terms of roles,ratings,opportunities etc.Many of the old employees also have backing of their managers,directors who themselves are old in Nagarro.
4. As most of them have never been to any other company they are unaware of the importance of domain expertise, team work,team building, processes and leadership qualities.
5. Many of them being here for 6+ years are drawing huge salaries and therefore don't want to leave from here.The only thing this affects is that they don't want to leave their comfort zone and put an extra effort to improve themselves.
6. The attitude that as they are the old employees of the company they are the BOSS. It is reflected again and again in their communication and the way they take things.
Retention of the employees is never a bad policy but to compromise on the quality of resources and also let new joiners suffer is not good. This is not my perception but has been talked about many of my friends ,teamates who have either left the company or are thinking of doing that.Let the new employees and the old ones have equal and fair opportunities and competition and let the best man win.The intent of this write-up is not to write against someone but to help improve company's image ,thereby adding a new feather to dream company's image.Also there are definitely many such employees who are extremely experts in their respective domains and technologies.
