Nagarro Response
11yThank you for taking the time to leave feedback about us here on Glassdoor. I am a little lost for words since I don't think there are any true pros about Nagarro in your review at all. Let me try to address some of the points in your feedback.
Some points are absolutely right and fair of course - some of our meeting rooms in some building do have very poor noise isolation (not a pro). This is something we should correct. And yes, we do have a lot of couples employed within Nagarro - though not as a result of any specific policy. This is something that we are perfectly okay with.
Other points are grey - we are not as bad as you think we are. With regards to executing fixed bid projects - I think we are not that bad. We do decently well most times, though as you said, we do have our challenges at times - but we are very good at learning from our own mistakes and we are much better at these projects than we used to be. I also think we are not that bad at hiring senior people either. We have hired some great colleagues at the senior levels - these people bring a lot of value into Nagarro including new thinking about how we should conduct our business.
But there are other areas where I think your feedback is off-the-mark. For instance, you talk about lack of encouragement for people to focus on technology - the reality is anything but. We have dedicated career tracks for people with a technology focus to grow to very senior levels. That shows our focus on non-delivery oriented roles as well.
I am not sure why you feel that at senior levels, the salaries stagnate or are not enough. The fact that we have some great people joining us and others continuing to stay with us shows that this is not the case. In any case, we are conducting a professional industry salary benchmark to make sure that we are where we think we are.
Finally, everyone in Nagarro can choose to 'focus' on what they would like to do. All outside-project activities are voluntary and outside of project time. Not everyone takes part in them - and this doesn't affect them negatively. At the same time, there are always those people who would like to contribute more at an organizational level, and we will always provide avenues for such choices.
BTW, we have less than 15 people on Director Delivery level. If one of them is handling less than 10 people, then there is probably a very good reason for it (such as this person being assigned on an account with a large future potential).
It is very disappointing for me that even after being with us for over an year, we still haven't been able to show you what makes Nagarro great. I wish that you would give us a chance by taking another look at who we are - and if needed, come and talk to one or more of the senior management about your observations and feedback. I, myself, would be happy to take out the time to discuss this.
In any case, thank you again for taking the time to write this review. I have taken some learning from it and already asked for them to be applied towards improving who we are.
