Pros

• A multitude of new domains and technologies to learn about • KEY founders are driven by a vision to add value to the client and are not just bottom line driven. This makes the company sustainable. • KEY founders are people to look up to and learn from. • A % of the workforce in Gramener is very motivated and talented. Amazing to work with.

Cons

• The environment is confrontational instead of being collaborative. • Little regard for an individual’s key skill, huge overlap of roles during an actual project. One person filling in multiple roles leading to sub-par quality outputs. (Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid) • Favouritism - the single biggest problem in Gramener. Exists in all companies, but blatantly visible in Gramener at multiple levels. • Low risk-taking ability – Some people are scared of taking risks and doing the unconventional less due to fear of failure more so due to repercussions and change of perception associated with their managers and the senior management. Leads to people being in their safe zone and not stretching beyond and indulging in counterproductive blame game.

Pros

Disclaimer: It's been a while since I left the firm, but I still think in terms of WE rather than THEY, when I think of Gramener. 1. It is what you make of it. It can be great for someone who’s aware of the tremendous resources and opportunities available, and makes use of them. But it can also be not-so-fun for someone not leveraging all that’s available here. 2. Lots of things to learn and lots of learning opportunities, irrespective of whether you're a techie or a manager. 3. Easy to get advice and guidance. 4. Very open style of management. There's always a listening ear. If you have something to say, you WILL be heard! 5. Nice and courteous people. This kind of culture seeps from the top down. 6. Very driven and involved leadership team. I found that inspiring. Look for the firm's backstory! 7. Some VERY COOL people work here. You will be amazed. Make the most of it!

Cons

1. With my limited visibility, the pay MIGHT be slightly on the lower side. 2. Can't think of a feasible solution for this, but I wish we would be able to match aspirations with roles better, and for more of our people.
