Dear colleague, thanks for your honest review - you describe the company as you see it.
Let me make some comments on your Con #1, perhaps it may help you get some more context:
1. The terminations since March are only a small fraction of the bench that we carried through this COVID crisis. I don't have the exact numbers on me but it is only a small fraction.
2. I concede that some people's performance may have been reviewed after they came to the bench, which may result in poor optics - it may look like a knee-jerk decision. But HR uses tons of data collected over the previous 12 months to arrive at a decision only in the worst cases. I wish I could show it to you. This includes performance appraisals, project interview rejections, refusals to pick up available projects etc. And it is not "one strike and you are out" either, nearly 10 strikes (speaking colloquially) need to be accumulated to get to this unfortunate point.
3. We would like to be caring, and really strive to be, but if you look at other reviews here, you see people complaining about the pay cuts too. We have to decide - do we keep the pay cuts on for longer for people who are excelling or do we terminate a few people who are somehow exhibiting a less-than-expected performance or attitude? This is unfortunately a balance that we have to strike.
We get a lot of credit for the good things Nagarro does, sometimes even more than deserved, so we should be ok taking some brickbats for the things that we have done carefully and correctly but which are not seen as such !
Again, thank you for the high-quality review. I like reviews like this that are genuine and balanced. Too many other reviews are basically written either by people who are upset to the gills or by those who write a one-liner "I couldn't find any cons" :-)
Cheers,
Manas
